Description

Bury Council is seeking to commission 13 Intermediate Care Beds in the Community, a service that is focused on delivering positive outcomes for individuals who live in Bury. This is an exciting opportunity to provide a service to people in a new and flexible way to maximise their ability to live independently and safely, in their own home within their community and in-line with Bury 2030 strategy. The 13 residential beds are being commissioned by Bury Council to deliver rehabilitation and reablement for people who are medically stable and optimised. However, these customers are often stepping down from hospital discharge and can on admission have more complex needs and require a holistic assessment to maximise personal outcomes. Some customers will need to enter the service as a community step up as their current care needs cannot be met through providing care in their own home. The service will be provided by a registered and regulated Residential Care Service Organisation with the Care Quality Commission that have achieved Outstanding or Good Ratings under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities Regulations) 2014. The scope of the registration will include Personal Care and the regulated service structure of the Organisation must have a registered Nominated Individual and Registered Manager. The contract is expected to commence 31st March 2022 to 30th March 2023 with the option to extend for a further 12 months dependent upon a satisfactory annual review.
