REVIEW OF SEEDFIELD PHYSICAL DISABILITY DAY CENTRE
Delegated decision: That approval be given to the development of a time limited service primarily focussed on regaining skills and independence which provides carer respite by means of the customer attending certain sessions and activities. Reasons for the decision: The Regain model is the most effective method to support the maximum number of customers and carers within the resources available. It is also focussed on maximising independence and support via a universal service which is sustainable in the longer term and will reduce dependency on more costly specialist care services. Other options considered and rejected: 1. To approve a service where the primary focus is carer respite (this is essentially the current service offer). 2. To approve a service which provided both carer respite and the opportunity to regain skills depending on what the customer is assessed as needing. 3. To cease the provision of a service.
