two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Western Health and Social Care Trust is seeking to engage with providers of supported living, residential or nursing home service on the potential for a bespoke placement for an adult individual under the age of 21, who is a wheelchair user, with a diagnosis of:
• This young person depends on carers for all aspects of personal care.
• Developmental Trauma Disorder and Complex PTSD. Carers will need an understanding of how to help the individual manage this.
• Moderate Learning difficulties although not registered with a Learning Disability.
Accommodation needs for the adult
The accommodation must include wheelchair accessible bedroom, own bathroom and own living room. Requires low stimulus environment, as free as possible from contact / noise by children or others and low environmental noise. Reliable internet access for the individual is essential. There must be secure / restricted / limited access to the accommodation so that the individual can only be accessed by going via staff.
Requirements of Placement for Residential / Nursing Care
The individual requires a tracking hoist, a toileting seat, bath/shower room big enough to accommodate a shower trolley, and if the accommodation is not level access, a suitable lift for the individual plus 1 carer.
The individual will require 1:1 ratio of staffing 24/7 for an initial period of up to 12 weeks or earlier as appropriate. Psychological safety is essential otherwise risk of significant emotional dysregulation / extreme anxiety/distress. 2:1 to support is required with manual handling needs only (which would equate to 6 hours per day for the second staff member).
