Description

The provision of a local integrated Care Home Support Service is a key element of the CCG's plan to deliver care at /closer to home to the improve quality of care and reduce the need for hospital attendances and admissions. Current service provision is delivered by a number of GP practices supporting each care home and a Care Home Support Service provided by Locala across the Greater Huddersfield area. Routine community nursing care into care homes is provided as part of our core community contract. The majority of patients are currently registered with either a Greater Huddersfield or North Kirklees CCG GP, however a very small minority of patients in Kirklees care homes may be registered with a GP practice in neighbouring CCGs.

The provider of the new Care Home Support Service will be required to have the ability to register patients for general medical services. This Care Home Support Service will be pivotal in helping to drive change, working collaboratively with local healthcare providers and stakeholders to plan for, and co-ordinate on-going health care with the primary aim of keeping individuals well and/or stable. This approach will be underpinned with robust care planning to ensure all care is optimised, delivered in the care home, and wherever possible, avoiding a hospital attendance or admission.
