Title

Provision of a Rotational Respite Bed in Wrexham County Borough

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Wrexham County Borough Council is seeking tender applications from registered residential care home providers who are able to meet the required service aims and objectives as detailed below:

Funding provided in this Contract is for the provision of one rotational respite bed within a residential care home in Wrexham to complement existing county provision.

The service aims to provide short-stay care within a residential setting, to support people unable to manage at home, or as planned respite to support a break for unpaid carer.

Aims:

 To provide planned respite to allow unpaid carers a break from the caring role, or in the case of emergency placement, when the home situation is unable to support the needs of the person and a short stay can avoid hospital admission or long-term placement.

Objectives:

 To provide timely access to short-stay beds

 To work with Social Care and Health to ensure individuals placed are enabled to maintain their independence in all aspects of daily living, in order to ensure a safe transfer back to their own home.

 To provide high quality, outcomes-focused and dignified care to individuals placed within the beds

 To maintain accurate records and produce regular monitoring information in line with the monitoring requirements of Health and Social Care.

Providers will be expected to provide care, support and accommodation in line with their Statement of Purpose, CIW registration and the applicable Pre-Placement Agreement. Therapeutic interventions will be provided by the Wrexham Health and Social Care. Nursing input (where required) will be provided by either the District Nursing Team with responsibility for the home, or Health and Social Care, upon negotiation.

For additional information please see the attached Service Specification.

The contract will commence ASAP unless already specified above, and will expire on 31 March 2025. The contract will be reviewed annually and will be subject to a 3 month termination clause.
