Purpose

Reablement bed-based services
are currently provided within four residential care services across
the county.   The services provide
care, support and reablement for people being discharged from
hospital who are not initially able to return home.  Through the provision of occupational therapy
support and support from the residential service to work towards
reablement goals and relearn skills customers can have an
opportunity to work towards moving home where possible after their
stay in the service.
 
In March 2023 three of the
current contracts were directly awarded
OKD59 22/23 for a one-year period which will cease on 31 March
2024. The Council is reviewing these services to consider the
future for the service provision, considering customer outcomes,
and financial and non-financial benefits. Upon completion of the
review the Cabinet Member for Adults Services will be asked for a
decision regarding future commissioning.
