Scoping of different workforce and care service models within communities across Wales

Tender description

The goal of this project is to advise both partners of potential benefits and risks of a model/s of care where residential and care and support at home services and their workforce have been combined. We are seeking detailed case studies of instances (in and outside of Wales) where: - regulated provider(s) deliver both residential and care and support (either in an accommodation based setting or not) services within a specific locality. - regulated provider(s) and / or commissioner(s) have brought together a workforce from a residential setting (with / without nursing) alongside care and support at home workforce for the purpose of management, developing support networks, learning, and training. - provider(s) and /or commissioner(s) have brought the above workforce together and deployed their skills and capacity interchangeably to: ~ deliver care and support and /or health related tasks in both the care home and the community. ~ extend the range of early intervention and preventative support services offered in the community e.g. short breaks for carers, day care services, medicine management support, 24 hour falls response service, night-time or palliative care support. Our focus for this project is to tease out: what needs to be done, and how partners can best support providers and their workforce to deliver innovative models of care that are person centred, preventative and place based and which: - meet both current and future demand flexibly and sustainably - support the wellbeing, retention, and development of the workforce - facilitate the coproduction of services across the whole system - assist with the integration of health and social care - promote better links with the community and in turn strengthen its resourcefulness. *PLEASE READ SPECIFICATION FOR FURTHER DETAIL*
