Lot Division
1 | Peterborough 6 Shared Beds Service - Peterborough City Council Funded Peterborough City Council and Cambridgeshire County Council have Tendered and Awarded a Contract for a single Economic Operator to provide Respite Care Services with Accommodation for Adults with Learning Disabilities / Autism. Lot 1 is for the provision of 6 shared accommodation beds for Peterborough, funded by Peterborough City Council. Respite Care for a person with a Learning Disability and/or Autism is defined as short-term support to give temporary relief for their usual unpaid carer. Services are delivered to the person accessing respite. There is the dual benefit of not only providing a break for the informal carer but also a positive experience for the person receiving support through activities, social opportunities and skills development. The benefits of respite care are widely acknowledged - improving carers’ physical and emotional wellbeing, enabling disabled people to continue to reside at home, and delaying or avoiding admission to long-term care. Respite care can help to sustain caring relationships, promote good health, prevent crises, and reduce the likelihood of neglect and family breakdown. Respite services are central to achieving sustainable care in the community and containing the costs of long-term care. Government policy initiatives continue to emphasise the importance of respite care and short breaks that positively impact on carer wellbeing, delivered via a personalised self-directed care service. The services provided are for a range of service users from those who have low to moderate needs through to those assessed as having complex needs, the definition of which is: service users assessed as having a learning disability and associated multiple disabilities, which may include impairments of vision, hearing and movement as well as other health conditions such as epilepsy and autism. They will require specialist support and adaptive communication methods. |
