Description

Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation (MPFT) are looking to procure a service for the provision of an Out of Hours Home Sitting Service for 3 Year period with an option to extend for 1 x 12 month periods. The service will support and work in partnership with their Mental Health Service Teams, such as Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHT), Access, Older Adults Hospital Avoidance, 136 Suit.

The service will be designed to:
• Support people to remain as independent as possible in their own homes
• Avoid unnecessary hospital admissions
• Support emergency services responses
• Prevent, reduce or delay the need for long-term care
• Enhance the Home Treatment Offer

The OOH Home Sitting Service will be an 'on call' type approach service located onsite at 2 MPFT site locations. Whilst on call, the service will attend service user's home to either, release the clinical staff during out of hours and weekends, either whilst waiting for a bed to be sourced for the service user or to support the Home Treatment Function offered by the local crisis teams and/or the adult/older adult pathways. An assessment will be carried out by a clinical staff member before the OOH Home Sitting Service attends the property, who would have assessed the risk before the service attends their home.
