The review of Day Care Services and the overall prevention strategy within Blackburn with Darwen had highlighted the opportunity to improve the model of delivery by developing a new offer of “day services” for residents who had or may develop social care needs, but were not accessing formal services at the present time. This would enable the Council to support a greater number of people with varying levels of need, as close to home as possible within the new Integrated Neighbourhood setting. It was proposed that the Council would maintain the existing specialist offer for residents with the most complex needs (“Day Care”) whilst developing a more diverse offer across its community assets of new “day services” for those residents able to maintain a higher degree of independence. In this way, more residents would be supported to access the right level of support in accordance with the principles of prevention, promoting independence, providing choice and control. Utilising community assets as a means to support people across the whole spectrum of need aligned to the wider vision around the development of an Integrated Neighbourhood offer that supported people to live well for longer. The existing Day Care offer would continue to meet the needs of its current service users who experienced difficulties with dementia, frailty, learning disability and social isolation. If these service users wished to make use of opportunities available under the new day services offer, this would be facilitated whenever it was possible and appropriate. The Council was also reviewing and consulting around an appropriate model of provision for young people in transition from Children’s services to Adult Social Care. The proposed model of delivery for this new offer of day services sought to stimulate growth in the voluntary and community sectors within neighbourhoods and would support residents with all levels of physical, emotional and social well-being needs. RESOLVED - That the Executive Board agrees: 1) To approve the outline model proposed for Adult Social Approved Care’s new offer of “day services”, giving wider and more intensive support from within a range of community settingsPage for residents 5 with qualifying Executive Board Thursday, 8th November, 2018 Item Action assessed needs. 2) That any decision to implement specific parts of the new Approved “day services” offer is delegated to the Executive Member for Health and Social Care in consultation with the Director of Adults and Prevention. 3) The use of the TIER descriptions (see Appendix1) as Approved part of a strength based approach to assessment of needs to help ensure people access the correct level of support, within a community asset based Integrated Neighbourhood setting where possible. 4) To approve the planned consultation with potential Approved service users and carers across the borough to assist in continuing to develop the new “day services” offer, and the further formal consultation with young people transitioning from Children’s Services to Adult Social Care (along with their families, carers and other involved parties) regarding the development of an appropriate model of provision for this specific cohort.
