Staffordshire County Council has launched Staffordshire Cares, its strategy for overhauling adult social care.
The council wants to improve access and understanding of services available, and establish seamless working with its partners.
Plans include:
· Staffordshire Cares Direct - a single countywide phone number providing a wide range of advice, information, simple assessments and 24/7 emergency contact all in one place
· Local information points across the county - offering advice and signposting to other forms of support
· One stop shops - access to a full range of face to face services and assessments
· Preventative Services - integration of front line services with the NHS and with the fire service, police and others to help avoid people needing acute care in hospital or long term institutionalised care
· Marketplace - an easy to understand website directory of Staffordshire service providers, costs and quality reports to help people choose the support they want
