two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Reablement is a strengths-based, person-centred approach, supporting an individual to regain skills, or gain new/alternative skills and confidence to enable a person to remain living independently or with less support in their own home.
The Community Reablement Service will be provided to customers to support them to maintain, retain or regain daily living skills and abilities to reach their maximum level of independence to remain in their own home independently or with less support. As part of West Sussex County Council approach, we will assume that reablement is to be considered as the default starting position for all new customers and only moving to long-term care where reablement has been confirmed as not appropriate.
There is a clear expectation that the Service Provider and the Council will work closely together to ensure the Service is delivering positive Outcomes for individuals identified for reablement and to deliver a responsive and flexible Service.
The Council wants to ensure a broad group of people can access the Community Reablement Service. Therefore, Customers receiving the Community Reablement Service may have a varying range of care, behavioural, communication, mobility and / or support needs relating - but not limited to - physical disabilities, learning disability, acquired brain injury, neurological conditions, mental health, and other long-term conditions and including double handed care support.
The key objectives of the Service are to:
1. Enable individuals to remain living independently in their usual place of residence.
2. Provide person centred time limited, reabling support for individuals which meets their needs and Outcomes.
3. Deliver Outcome-focussed, strength-based interventions that prevent, reduce, and delay the need for care and support.
4. Maintain Customer’s independence at home.
5. Facilitate discharge from hospital at the optimum time for the individual thereby reducing hospital acquired decline.
6. Work in partnership with key partners to ensure a streamlined and coordinated experience for the Customer.
7. Develop strong relationships and pathways with other community services to ensure individuals are supported to remain living independently at home beyond the reablement intervention period.
Throughout the life of this contract, the Community Reablement Service will become more closely aligned with Intermediate Care Services, known as Intermediate Care and Primary Care Services. The Council is working towards improved intermediate care provision with NHS partners. The Reablement service is acknowledged as being an essential part of the integrated care system which will continually work across system health and social pathways to achieve the best Outcomes for residents.
Full details of the services required can be found in Document 02 the Service Specification. This includes a substantive list of all the aims, outcomes, and requirements that will make up the provision of these service.
