What is
Support to Live at Home?
It’s about:
• Choice for people about their care and support
• Meeting outcomes for people – finding out what would make a
difference in their lives and enabling it to happen.
• Implementing Supporting Lives, Connecting Communities (SLCC)
within provider market
• Working closely with the NHS – at a commissioning as well as
operational level
• A market that works for all of Suffolk
• It’s about the whole picture – this means taking an integrated
approach
• Valuing the roles of providers and partners in making this happen
What customers have told us
• Outcomes matter
• Flexibility matters
• Choice matters
We asked:
In addition to personal care,
what support will be important to help the person
you care for to remain in their own home?
Supporting Lives, Connecting
Communities
• SLCC is now working county wide
• It is outcome focused – social work
teams think creatively in their work with
people
• We are networking and engaging in
localities and parishes
• Empowering localities – making best use
of what’s in our communities
• Integrated neighbourhood teams - cluster
teams loosely aligned with GP groupings.
• Closer working with partners and
community groups
Working together, smarter, wider
• We are moving to an integrated health and care system
(HASCI)
• Joint commissioning with CCGs on Support to Live at Home
to deliver continuing healthcare
• There is a strong national drive for this
• We are building on some good pilot work already, eg:
• Great Yarmouth and Waveney Integrated Care System
• West Suffolk neighbourhood team and pathway
development
• Partnership work in north Suffolk around hospital discharge
and mental health.
• Next steps: work with Norfolk for cross-over commissioning in
Great Yarmouth and Waveney
