Purpose

Adult
Social Care is proposing to cease the Community Support Service for
adults living independently at home and adapt the service for
adults living in supported accommodation. The Community Support
Service supports with tasks such as shopping, preparing meals, and
accessing the community. If the proposal goes ahead, people living
at home would be found alternative support in the community, while
Supported Living services would be reconfigured so an individual's
support was all provided by the accommodation based staff. The
proposal is one of a number that the department has been consulting
on to help close the Council’s funding gap. The results of
the consultation will be shared and Cabinet will make a decision on
whether the proposal goes ahead or not.
