Supported Living Services in West Northamptonshire

Descriptions

The Council is committed to the delivery of high-quality adult social care services for residents of West Northamptonshire who are assessed as requiring Supported Living. The Council wishes to work in partnership with Supported Living Providers who can demonstrate and maintain quality standards in line with the Council's Service Specifications, which has at its core the Care Quality Commission's Regulations and is in line with the Care Act 2014.

Organisations will be required to deliver services which focus on the health, safety, enablement, progression and wellbeing of people who require such services. They must enable people to gain, maintain or regain skills to help them to live independently and recover from illness. The service, wherever possible, supports people to prevent unnecessary admission to hospital and residential care. Organisations should provide a level of support to assist people to build on their current strengths and develop their abilities to look after themselves without becoming dependent on support.

The services that people receive should maximise their independence as well as providing value for money. The services provided must be able to adapt and meet the needs of the customers if and as their condition develops.
