Good Practice
| Bath & North East Somerset Council is working
with Bath and North East Somerset Primary Care Trust (PCT), the local mental
health care trust, and Somer Community Housing Trust to transform
services for older people. It is replacing its seven existing care
homes for the elderly with three new ‘Community Resource
Centres’. These will provide care for people with high-level needs
and dementia, and flats for older people who are more independent
but still need daily care. A new 24-hour, mobile, rapid-response
team will provide nursing care. Working together has attracted over
£1.5 million of extra money to help pay for these new
services. |
