Provison of care and support for a Learning Disability Supported Living and Domiciliary Outreach Service in Mendip, Somerset

Tender description

SCC has worked in partnership with a provider to transfer their whole service to a new provider. The current provider will maintain the landlord function of the Learning Disability Supported Living accommodation. This service operates in and around the Mendip area, with a focus on increasing peoples’ independence through care and support to 37 individuals. Customers are between 18- 65 years, most of the customers are in their 30’sand supported in their own homes in a mix of shared and individual accommodation. Support delivered across the services is approximately 1000 individual hours and 42 sleep ins (378 hours) per week and ranges from 6hours to 105 hours per week. It is expected that during the first year, the provider will work in partnership with SCC to review with people supported, their packages of care and support. This may mean that the contracted hours will change as these packages are amended, but this will be done in conjunction with the provider and person supported.
