Friendship has been successful in its bid to
be included in a framework of registered providers to deliver Home
Care Services across Coventry and Warwickshire.
Bernadette Mansell, Senior Care Business
Manager at Friendship said “The Home Care service is predominantly
a new business for us which, is great news. The new service fits
alongside our existing supported living programme which is designed
to help people with learning disabilities and will fit within this
framework.”
“We know from experience, that we can make a
positive difference to peoples’ lives. Our team of trained
support workers help service users to shape, achieve and maintain
their personal independence and it’s always rewarding when we see
people starting to make their own life choices.”
The Home Care Service contract will run for
two years (with an option to extend for a further two years). The
service works with people who have been assessed and identified as
having critical and substantial needs and covers client groups
including:
- Older People
- Adults with physical disabilities
- Adults with learning disabilities
- Adults with mental health illness
- Carers
The service provision will include services
such as:
- Domiciliary Care
- Continuing Health Care
- Telecare response
- Carers break services
- Waking and Sleep in night cover
