In preparation, four developments sites have been set up to trial approaches to reablement and test new ways of working as part of personalisation of services and integrating health with social care. The project is supported by CSED.
Initial results from the site areas are comparable with national findings and reveal:
- 41% of service users require no further care package
- 28% of users requiring a reduced care package
The council aims to achieve 55% upwards of people no longer requiring care when the service is fully implemented, placing it in the best performing category of councils.
Key elements of the project include:
Workforce - flexible, helping to shape the new service, changing mindset and workplace culture.
Service philosophy – reablement and empowerment of service users, keeping individuals out of the care system, reduce dependency on the NHS and social care, and align services to personalisation.
Commissioning approach – align to the county’s Joint Commissioning Unit reprovision programme, operate on an integrated service model, shaping new social care markets, encourage adoption of the reablement philosophy.
