A team of home carers operate between the hours of 10 pm to 7 am to provide intensive support to vulnerable people otherwise imminent risk of admission to residential or nursing home care or may be especially vulnerable after hospital discharge.
This is a development / pilot scheme to test whether the provision of a very personalised and flexible service, involving telecare systems where possible, can maintain people for longer in their own homes, or enable them to return to their homes from hospital at the earliest opportunity. It may, if successful (as all other similar schemes have been), provide a major step forward in developing personalised services and greater choice for vulnerable older people.
Associated Service are:
Extra Care Housing
Care homes
Care homes (with nursing)
Specialist care
Care villages
