Care Home Provider requirements:<br/><br/>* During operational hours (Mon-Friday 08.00-18.00), Care Home Providers will respond within 2 hours of TOC receipt to identify whether or not the individual is provisionally accepted and/or outlining any additional information that may be required to make a decision.<br/>* The Care Home's Registered Manager or nominated deputy may need to attend the Acute Hospital to assess the person face to face to ensure they can safely meet their needs. Where this is required the assessment and decision should be made within 48 hours of receiving the TOC Monday to Thursday and within 72 hours for TOCs received on a Friday.<br/>* NB: Please note the intention to develop a Trusted Assessor role working with Care Home Providers and on their behalf to support timely decisions and transfer to the pathway in future, with the aim to transfer suitable individuals to the pathway within 48 hours of TOC referral. This also allows the opportunity to enable transfers 7 days a week. It is anticipated that this role will be part of the Central Norfolk HomeFirst Hub and operate 7 days a week to enable safe and effective transfers 7 days a week. The role will be developed with Care Home Providers, informed by the CQC Guidance on Trusted Assessors and Local Government Authority (LGA) Guidance on Trusted Assessors.<br/>* Care Home Providers will receive a handover from the Acute Hospital ward or Hospital Discharge Team on the day of transfer. Wherever possible transport booking times will be shared to enable an estimated arrival time.<br/>* Care Home Providers will temporarily register the person with an agreed Primary Care practice, within 24 hours of admission or as soon as possible for out of hours admissions.<br/>* Care Home Providers will ensure the designated rooms are available for admitting individuals 5 days a week, Monday to Friday, during the contract period, with an intention to move to 7 day admissions including bank holidays, once the pathway is fully established and Providers are assured regarding quality of discharge information and transfers. Admission times will be dependent on the needs and safety of each individual with aim to transfer between 08.00-18.00.<br/>* Care Home Providers will, when beds are available (Monday to Friday 08.00-18.00), admit individuals within 24 hours of an accepted TOC referral, unless otherwise jointly agreed with NCHC, the Central Norfolk HomeFirst Hub and Acute Hospital team arranging the discharge.<br/>* Care Home Providers are required to build good working relationships with their aligned GP practice for the pathway and the in-reaching MDT.<br/>* Care Home Providers will work with MDT members to support achievement of the outcomes specified within the individual's care and reablement plan.<br/>* Care Home Providers will liaise effectively, sharing their professional insight, during weekly MDT meetings to inform planning, and be proactive in supporting the individual to return home/UPOR or new bedded care environment in a coordinated, safe, effective and timely manner.<br/>* Care Home Providers will be expected to always have suitable staffing levels available to safely meet the needs of individuals on the pathway, which will include double assist care. People who are eligible for care will have varying levels of dependency and are likely to have both physical and cognitive/mental health needs.<br/>* Care Home Providers will be able to provide temporary 1:1 support, if required, to safely manage short term escalations of behaviour e.g., linked to health changes or transition to a new environment. Where teams at the referring hospital, working proactively with Providers and the HomeFirst Hub team, identify if 1:1 support is anticipated in the short term to aid smooth transition to the pathway, it is at the Registered Manager's discretion whether the person's needs can be safely met and accepted onto the pathway. (NB. Patients requiring a high level of additional supervision are not suitable for this pathway).<br/>* Care Home Providers must seek approval for funding when organising short term 1:1 support to manage short term escalation of behaviours while on the pathway. This should be in exceptional circumstances and detailed record keeping will be required<br/>* Care Home Providers will ensure designated rooms are suitable to deliver the Reablement and Recovery pathway:<br/>o Room size: All designated rooms must be of an appropriate size to accommodate full hoisting and or any relevant manual handling equipment, enable residents to navigate safely with walking aids including frames plus or minus assistance, and be large enough to enable double up care to be provided if needed.<br/>o Room Location: needs to be downstairs or the Provider must have safety mechanisms in place to reduce risk of falls/injury in relation to stairs and access.<br/><br/>* The Provider must have access to a range of suitable equipment to support the needs of individuals on the pathway.<br/><br/>Aims and objectives of service<br/><br/>The aims of this service are to:<br/><br/>* Provide a responsive service, in order to support safe and timely hospital discharge for adults with moderate cognitive decline, who have identified short term reablement and recovery care and support needs.<br/>* Provide quality care and support to all individuals on the pathway, through a person-centred approach.<br/>* Ensure individuals have a comprehensive assessment and structured person-centred care and reablement plan that involves active therapy or opportunity for recovery that is sustainable once the patient has returned home/UPOR.<br/>* Deliver short term intervention to enable users to optimise their independence and enable discharge home/UPOR, adopting a HomeFirst approach<br/>* Ensure continuity of care on transition into and from the pathway<br/>* Provide effective care coordination and care navigation<br/>* Reduce length of stay (LOS) in Acute Hospitals<br/>* Reduce risk of deconditioning<br/>* Prevent avoidable hospital admissions",
