Description
Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council (BCP Council) are seeking suppliers to provide the following Service:
Care and Support in Extra Care Housing.
Extra Care Housing (for rent or sale) is becoming better known as a housing option that individuals and professionals will consider as an alternative to residential care. In Extra Care Housing, the mix of onsite background support and commissioned care, with a dynamic approach to supporting people to make best use of communal spaces is at the heart of the success of the service.
Every Extra Care Housing setting should offer a environment with its own identity, in which the Service Provider can offer quality Care and Support enhanced by a dedicated approach to ensuring that links with the community are well established and that the commissioned care in Client/Tenant's own properties is supplemented by the offer in the communal spaces.
Extra Care Housing is a critical part of the objective to support people who have an eligible need for care and support as well as a housing need, to maintain their independence and avoid unnecessary or avoidable care home admission.
The following Extra Care Schemes are included in this tender opportunity:
Belmont Court
Brushett House
Bure House

Delphis House
Kingsley House
Shaftesbury Court
