Amidst the cost of living crisis and ongoing funding issues, the Government has outlined its policy framework for the health and social care sector for the year ahead.
On 19 July, the Better Care Framework 2022-23 was published, which is set to provide over £7 billion to ensure that people get the care they need, when they need it.
According to the plan, the funding will improve coordination between the health, social care and housing services.
With this in mind, the goal is to help individuals with complex needs and disabilities, as well as older people, live at home for longer and maintain their independence.
The minimum funding of £7.2 billion is set to achieve this by funding relevant adaptions for homes and assisting with rehabilitation after being in hospital.
It also plans to introduce demand planning and increase the capacity of immediate care services in preparation for the winter.
Why is independence so important?
Whilst individuals may have complex needs, accessing the right assistance early on is essential to encourage their independence and maintain a high quality of life.
At Almond Care, we support a range of conditions including brain injuries, cerebral palsy, and muscular dystrophy, among more.
By assessing the needs of each individual client, we then shape our care for that person, to ensure they get the right support, not only physically but also emotionally.
This holistic approach enables us to tap into the interests and hobbies of each person, and encourage them to maintain their independence by caring for them in their own homes.
