Background
The Older People Market Development Plan (65+) – accommodation based, and community services is one of several commissioning plans that aim to improve supply, quality, and access to appropriate provision in the city according to current and predicted increased future needs.
This plan sits under, and should be read in conjunction with, the Market Position Statement, which provides further context and sets out the shape of the current adult social care market and an indication of projected future demand.
For Older People and Physical / Sensory Impairment (PDSI) services we aim to:
- Promote the greatest level of independence possible, making use of everyone’s personal assets, resources, and abilities.
- Focus on helping people progress through and out of services to whatever extent is right for them.
- Make best use of community resources.
- Future-proof the market with increased quantity of provision, and greater use of assistive technology and innovative models of support.
- Better match supply and demand so there is a choice of good-quality, effective provision to suit different needs, giving us the best possible value for money.
