  • Residential Care Home with or without Nursing Services with a PL postcode

    Care homes aim to create a homelike environment, offering communal living spaces, meals, and recreational activities to foster social interaction and a sense of community. Residential Care provides support with daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, and mobility. Suitable for individuals who do not require regular medical attention but need assistance with their overall well-being and safety. Also includes specialised, intensive support provided within a residential care home setting for individuals who have significant and complex needs. These needs can stem from physical disabilities, chronic medical conditions, mental health issues, or developmental disabilities that require round-the-clock care and supervision. Nursing Care provides support for individuals with complex medical needs or chronic health conditions that require regular or continuous medical oversight, within nursing homes. Nursing homes are often more clinical in nature, equipped with medical facilities to cater to high-level care needs, while still offering some social and recreational activities and will be able to manage intricate medical, physical, psychological, and social factors. It requires specialised knowledge, critical thinking, and coordination across disciplines to ensure optimal patient outcomes. The framework also welcome care homes that provide highly specialised and complex care for individuals with severe cognitive impairment and/or complex mental health needs and/or bariatric care requirements and/or behaviours that challenge, beyond the requirements of Residential High or Nursing High Needs Care.

  • Residential & Nursing Care Home Services Innovation

    As described in Lot 1 plus we would invite providers to self-select to join a group to work with us on future commissioning, contracting and procurement options for complex care. This will be framed as continuing the work already started with the market and include references to intermediate care and aspirations around pricing and staffing models which reduce the need for 1:1 support.
