The mental health side of social services will. They are usually based at the local hospital.

The Social Services should be the first point of call, imo.

I know a young man like that. He lives in sheltered housing, has meals delivered to him daily and a team of social workers keep an eye on him.

Contact Social Services - either directly or through the GP.
