Outcome of consultation on revised approach to day support in adult social care
PDF 223 KBThis report will set out the outcome of a
consultation on a new model of day support for adult social care
and will seek approval on the final model.
The report is a follow-up to the 28th October 2020 Cabinet report
on day support. The October report described a new model with the
following changes:
1. To have fewer day centre service buildings overall
2. To use day service buildings as community support hubs
3. To help people who need adult social care to use a bigger range
of daytime activities
4. To support people to organise their own support through direct
payments
These proposals include previously agreed savings of £317,000
per year from 2021-22 and proposes additional savings of
£252,000 as part of the 2021-24 Medium-Term Financial
Strategy.
Public consultation on these proposals ran from 9 November 2020 to
4 January 2021. This item will describe the outcome of the
consultation and will present final proposals for the future of day
support in adult social care for agreement.
As in the October report, there is a direct impact of these changes
on the Council’s in-house day centres for older and disabled
people (Riverside and Physical Disability Day Opportunities) and
for people who need mental health support (Pritchards Road).
