Description

Barnsley Council are seeking providers to deliver a building based residential respite service for adults with a learning disability and/or a physical disability (and sensory impairment) based on the fundamental principles of rights, independence, choice, inclusion and safety.

This service will be offered to adults with a learning disability and /or physical disability (and sensory impairment) aged 18 and over, living in the Barnsley area;

• Whose Carers have been assessed as eligible for short breaks from their caring role under the current Carers assessment process
• Who are currently living with Shared Lives Carers who are eligible to a break from their caring role

This service will primarily offer respite to people whose needs can only be met in a provision that has a suitable physical environment, resources and facilities (i.e. tracking and hoist system).

This service will not include a nursing provision but there is a requirement that the service user's health needs will be met by suitably trained provider staff and/or in partnership with local Health Services.

To ensure the long term viability of this service the Provider will aim to maintain a bed occupancy level of 80% based on 5 beds. This allows flexibility and choice of bookings and a provision for emergency needs to be met in the 6th bed, whilst also demonstrating efficient usage and good value for money.
