East Riding of Yorkshire CCG - RFI Residential and nursing care for people with profound learning disabilities and complex needs

Following an external review of the existing services at Granville Court in Hornsea and Millside in Driffield, a service outline has been produced describing the person-centred service outcomes required from a specialist care home for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and complex physical needs. East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s existing generic service specification for residential care homes is included for information as an indicative guide, but it is our intention for a new service specification to be agreed with the future provider of this service, supplemented by individual care contracts for the residents.

The service outline describes the service currently provided and an indicative service model for future development at a new site, to be identified and agreed by commissioners and the provider.

Before we begin with procurement we would like to better understand the provider market, the perceived deliverability of the current and future specification locally, and what options are available to develop the service in a new purpose built environment in a new location.

Aims of the service:

1. Provide a high quality person-centred service to individuals with profound and multiple learning disabilities and complex physical needs which can be best met in a registered care home setting

2. Provide advice, support and short breaks as required for individuals with similar needs who live with family carers

3. Improve outcomes and quality of life for those individuals requiring care in this environment

4. Maximise value for money
