Notice Description

Herefordshire Council is seeking to establish an accredited list of residential and nursing providers to deliver a range and choice of quality assured board, lodging, personal care and registered nursing services in a residential setting to both elderly and working age adults with disabilities in the county (including placements funded through Continuing Healthcare and Section 117 placements made under the Mental Health Act 1983).

Successful applicants which secure a place on the accredited list will be required to facilitate the delivery of the following outcomes: - Delivering care that is person-centred, supporting a person's independence and whole well-being. - Delivering support that enables people to maintain personal choice about everyday life. - Delivering care that reflects safe, effective practice and maintains quality as a high priority. - Delivering care through well-maintained professional partnerships supported by good leadership.
