Tender description

Home-Care: Home-care is the term used to describe domiciliary care services. These services will be commissioned by Medway Council in order to meet the assessed needs and desired outcomes of Service Users. The ultimate aims of this service are to: i. Ensure that service users are as independent as possible and providers work in an enabling way that maximises and promotes the service users independence and does not foster dependence; ii. Ensure that service users are enabled to maintain their independence with appropriate care in their own homes. The Home-care services under this Framework Agreement will be available to adults over the age of 18 who meet the Council's eligibility criteria for services. Flexi (Extra) Care: A Flexi Care Scheme is a mixed use scheme enabling older people with a range of care and support needs to live independently in their own homes. Service Users will be older people aged 55 and over including those with sensory needs, mental disorder including dementia, short or long-term illnesses, and those who require end of life care. It develops the concept of housing where older people can have their needs met through the security and privacy of a tenancy but within a socialising environment. The Flexi (Extra) Care service contracts awarded under this Framework Agreement will be available to adults over the age of 55 who meet the Council's eligibility criteria for services.
