Social care refers to the support and assistance provided to individuals who are in need of help due to physical, mental, or social challenges. It encompasses a wide range of services, such as healthcare, housing, and social work, that aim to improve the well-being and quality of life of those who require care. Social care is often provided by trained professionals, but can also involve informal support from family, friends, and community members. Its ultimate goal is to promote independence, dignity, and inclusion for individuals who may be vulnerable or marginalized in society.
