II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The overarching aim for the service is for every service user to achieve their maximum possible level of independence at home and to improve well-being.
This represents a shift in thinking and approach away from traditional models of domiciliary care which have tended to focus on maintenance, rather than enablement, prompting independence and a person's individual well-being.
The objective is a change in culture, working practices, service delivery methods and the intention to foster a genuine spirit of partnership between the parties, working closely together to ensure the successful implementation and further development of the domiciliary care service.
Aims and objectives:
— to provide high-quality care through experienced, competent, supported and trained workforce,
— to improve the service user's health and well-being and ensure their safety delaying and reducing the need for residential care and/or hospitalisation,
— to have care needs met in a way that puts the service user at the centre,
— to provide good quality care that meets the required and expected standards of domiciliary care providers,
— to safeguard vulnerable adults and care for people in a safe environment,
— promote the independence of people in their own homes and support people to regain and maintain their skills with a ‘supporting to’ rather than ‘doing for’ approach,
— to establish effective links with and work in close collaboration with other health and social care services to support service user's care, signposting to other services and supporting this where required.
