Adult Social Care Commissioning
What is commissioning?
Commissioning- involves a cycle of Analyse, Plan, Do, Review, as follows:
- Analyse: What have we got and what do we need? Analysing the support needed.
- Plan: What should support look like? Planning the services including developing service specifications.
- Do: What do we need to do to put support in place? Implementing the services and facilitating the market.
- Review: Is the support meeting need? Monitoring what’s working and what needs improving and then starting the cycle again.
We work with service users, carers, providers and health. This is to make sure that the services are achieving the outcomes that matter to people.
Adult Social Care Commissioning
Ethos
We work with partners to develop support and services that maximise independence of people in need of support through services ranging from prevention and reablement through to care home provision with an emphasis on trying to support people to live their lives in their own homes wherever possible and where this is not achievable in homely environments in assisted living, Housing with Care or care home provision.
