Provision of Care for Adults in Care Homes

This Care Model sets out how care home provision in Bath & North East Somerset will be commissioned, delivered and integrated under the recommissioned Care Home Framework. It responds to increasing demand, rising complexity of need, particularly dementia and frailty and growing financial and workforce pressures, while aligning with statutory duties, strategic priorities and system-wide transformation. The model aims to ensure that people who need care home support receive safe, high‑quality, person‑centred care in the right setting, at the right time, and for the right length of stay, while supporting market sustainability and value for money. •Residents are entering care later, frailer and with more complex dementia needs •Care homes remain essential within a Home First and prevention‑led system. The framework will cover: Residential & Nursing Dementia Interim funded (Discharge to assess) Learning Difficulties, Autism & Sensory Impairment
