Coronavirus (COVID-19)
As a precautionary measure due to a rise in the level of Covid-19 in the community, all residential care homes in Carmarthenshire have been asked to suspend visits.
Staff have been asked to continue supporting families to visit relatives outside, so long as this is practical. This decision has been taken after careful consideration, and we appreciate that this will be disappointing for some families and residents. We thank everyone for their continued support.
Day services for older people are temporarily closed.
You can send any supporting documents for your blue badge application by emailing: bluebadge@carmarthenshire.gov.uk.
Please continue to visit our Newsroom for the latest information. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
We have produced a range of information leaflets that tell you about the services which we provide as well as to direct you to other sources of help and information.
