The council have recently conducted an open procurement for the care and support needs currently delivered within the Extra Care Housing scheme at Newton House.
The range of care and support needs within the scheme aims to reflect a balanced community model of approximately, a third of people with; low care needs 0-7 hours/week, medium care needs 8-14 hours/week and high care needs 15+ hours/week.
The service will be accessed by people over 55 years. The restriction around the age of adults accessing this service is linked to the tenancy age restriction set by the Landlord.
The Provider selected to deliver the above Services will be the Council's preferred Provider to deliver formal care and support arrangements (care managed referrals) within the Scheme
In Westmorland and Furness the term 'extra care' housing is used to describe housing developments that comprise self-contained homes with design features and support services to enable people to self-care and continue to live independently. The 'extra' in extra care housing is generally recognised to be access to care services that can:
Respond quickly to residents changing needs
Provide unplanned care as and when required in addition to planned care
