Description
The current Hampshire Disabilities Day Opportunities Model (HDDOM) was developed by Hampshire County Council to address growing and evolving needs in adult social care, particularly for people with disabilities and adults who required structured daytime support. It was also developed to better safeguard, contract manage and review finances. The service has entered its final extension period and is required to be retendered to ensure Hampshire may meet the needs of its eligible residents.
The new framework will be an evolution from HDDOM and will be named Hampshire Day Opportunities Framework (HDOF) and will be aligned with the Care Act 2014, aiming to meet eligible care needs by offering meaningful daytime activities that promote wellbeing, independence, and social inclusion.
HDOF will be designed to provide daytime activities and support for adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, older adults and people with mental health needs. The model includes:
Traditional day care centres
Vocational training
Community-based services
Specialist services for complex needs
The need for these service exists because of the following factors:
Support for Independent Living:
Offers structured environments that promote independence, skill-building, and social engagement.
Some individuals with disabilities or age-related conditions cannot safely remain at home alone during the day.
Carer Respite:
Provides respite for family carers, especially older carers or those who need to work during the day
Preventative Care:
By offering meaningful daytime activities, it will help to prevent deterioration in mental and physical health, reducing the need for more intensive interventions later.
Users report high satisfaction, with many describing the services as enjoyable and beneficial to their wellbeing.
The service also aims to support the Public Health agenda through a range of educational and occupational activity.
