Overview
Replacement care, also known as 'respite' from caring or 'short breaks', is the support provided to an individual due to a carer having a break from their usual caring role. It is the support offered to people needing help in fulfilling their caring commitments to reduce unnecessary pressure or stress, and usually involves overnight care for one or more nights.
These can be planned breaks or short notice in emergency situations. To meet these needs, the Council commissions a number of different replacement care provisions, one of which is a service at Lock Close in Redditch.
This 5-bedded service has been providing replacement care for adults with a learning disability for a number of years. Worcestershire County Council is looking for a service provider to provide a Replacement care Service at Lock Close and manage delivery of the contract from 1st April 2018. The closing date for this opportunity is 12 noon 5th November 2018 Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
