Blackburn with Darwen Council is re-evaluating supported living to enhance independence for residents and ensure age-appropriate services
Blackburn: The council is taking a closer look at supported living services. They want to make sure these services help folks live independently and are suitable for their age.
This review is part of a new strategy for adult social care that runs from 2025 to 2027. It was given the green light at a recent council meeting.
The goal is to help residents stay in their homes longer. The strategy lays out how the council plans to invest resources and highlights key developments for the next couple of years.
It also addresses the needs of the local population and the challenges in adult social care. Plus, it sets the groundwork for how services will be designed and delivered.
According to Cllr Jackie Floyd, the council is dedicated to meeting the needs of vulnerable residents. They’ve worked closely with local partners to understand what the community needs.
This new approach is a chance to team up with local providers to offer quality services that help residents stay well and live independently.
When it comes to adult social care, getting it right for each person is crucial. Good commissioning can really change lives, allowing people to enjoy a better quality of life in their own homes.
The council is committed to collaborating with residents, the NHS, and community groups to ensure services are safe, effective, and tailored to individual needs.
