Description

The Council is seeking to procure a residential care service for men over the age of 45 with a significant history of alcohol misuse and serious mental illness. Many of the residents in the current commissioned service have cognitive impairments related to long-term alcohol dependency in addition to personal care needs. In terms of the Care Act, their primary need for care and support relates to alcohol use and mental health.

Some residents within the service may move from residential care to a less intensive accommodation setting within the community as they recover. However, the majority of residents in this service will require longer-term residential care due to deteriorating cognitive functioning and may not make the transition to more independent living. Currently on average one resident is stepped down from the service per annum.

The successful provider will be required to provide suitable premises from which the service will be delivered. Further details on property requirements are outlined in the Service Specification.

The residential care service will be based in the borough and rated at least 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
