People looking for information about adult social care in Rutland can now get help more quickly and easily, thanks to the launch of a new digital assistant from Rutland County Council.
Maya is built into the council's website and also available on WhatsApp, providing round-the-clock access to trusted information and advice about support for those who need it, and includes information on a range of services, including assessments, support, adaptations, and equipment in the home, as well as help with hospital stays and local community groups.
Rutland has a higher proportion of older residents than both the East Midlands regional and UK national averages, with more than a quarter of the local population currently aged 65 and over. By 2047, the number of Rutland residents aged over 65 is projected to increase by more than 40%, including significant growth among those aged 90 and over.
Rutland County Council was also recently ranked first out of 150 local authorities for multiple adult social care outcome framework measures, including social care-related, quality of life, overall satisfaction of people who use the services and service users who feel safe.
