Support to providers that the council has contracts with.
In addition
to financial support the Council has developed a voluntary workforce scheme to
support the care homes using volunteers sourced from both local authority staff
and individuals from the voluntary and community sector. Several volunteers are
currently working in the homes, with a number subsequently taking up full time
employment as care workers.
The City
Council also operates a 24/7 Integrated Crisis Response Service to facilitate
hospital discharges and community step up.
If needed, this team can be redirected to support failing care homes as
part of the Council’s emergency response service, in addition to the Council’s
Reablement Service
*(from Fee uplifts in dataset) The Council has paid fee uplifts to cover the additional operating costs of self-funder residents in care homes as well as those clients who are fully or part funded by Adult Social Care
