Intermediate Care Review pdf icon PDF 465 KB

Adrian Crook, Assistant Director of Adult Social Care will update at the meeting. Report Attached.

Minutes:

Adrian Crook, Assistant Director of Adult Social Care provided a report that highlights progress against the review of Intermediate Tier Services in Bury

 

Intermediate care services support people in the community, helping to promote independence and providing care, therapies and rehabilitation on a short term basis only. It was outlines that people in Bury do not have the same opportunity to access home based intermediate care, compared with other areas in the country. This review aims to change that and provide more opportunities for this service. Service areas included in the scope of the review are; Intermediate Care Nursing (bed based); Intermediate Care Social Care (bed based); Reablement (non-therapy social care home based) and Discharge to Assess (social care PVI sector bed based).

 

The Board were informed that Bury currently offers 74 beds that provide Intermediate Tier Care, yet the average occupancy is 75%. This demonstrates that 18 beds were not used. Therefore, a new model demonstrates that a reduction in beds of 25 using bed-based and reablement more efficiently delivers an extra 10 episodes of care a month and 123 over the course of a year. This is a principle aim of the project; to maintain or increase the number of episodes on intermediate care delivered.

 

Councillors were then invited to ask questions of which the following themes were discussed:

 

Discussions took place regarding obtaining public choice on where they may wish to receive services. The Board were informed that a consultation on the detailed proposals will be undertaken for a period of 4 weeks, from 01st June 2020 to 30th June 2020 and within this there is an expectation that the public will inform decisions that may be made.

 

It was agreed:

 

That the report be noted.
