Description

The Integrated Commissioning Department covering the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster City Council are proposing to go out to market for a Post-Rehabilitation Step Down service to work across both boroughs.

The proposed service will work in close partnership with Community Rehab and Falls services to offer a post rehabilitation step down continuum of support for clients aged 60 years and over. Referrals into the service will be at the point of discharge when a resident's needs change from therapy to support and confidence building. This will be delivered by trained volunteers supported by employed project staff who will support older people after periods of intensive input from health care professionals following a fall, stroke, or other illness-related disability.

The aims of the service will be to: - Increase capacity to provide older people, discharged from Community Rehab Services, with extra volunteer support to achieve lasting change. - Support isolated older people to get active and regain independence following a fall or illness. - Improve mobility, physical health and mental wellbeing for older people with a disability or poor health. - Prevent social isolation caused by the abrupt withdrawal of rehabilitation services/healthcare professionals. - Promote independence, social inclusion and reduce health & social care usage.

This service offer fits within the Falls Prevention pathway but is unique in the way it offers support to vulnerable residents by bridging the gap between a clinical service and a befriending service.

Further details on how to respond will be made available in the Opportunity notice when the tender is released.
