Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Jones introduced the Progress for Providers Update report which raised awareness of the project ‘Progress for Providers – Creating a Place Called Home ……. Delivering What Matters’ and its outcomes, including the roll-out of the programme to domiciliary care providers.

                        The report evaluated progress to date and the work underway to expand the programme into new areas.

                        To demonstrate progression, the Council had introduced three levels of accreditation for Care Homes which were validated by the Flintshire Contract and Commissioning Team in partnership with Care Home Managers. 

To date, 15 Residential Care Homes had been successful in achieving Bronze accreditation and the Contracts and Commissioning Team were continuing to work with the remaining Care Homes to move them towards Bronze accreditation.

The Chief Officer (Social Services) said the work demonstrated excellent partnership working in a scheme that had attracted a lot of positive national attention.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the impact of ‘Progress for Providers – Creating a Place Called Home ….. Delivering What Matters’ be noted; and

(b)       That the details of ongoing actions and initiatives underway to further develop the programme be noted.
