## Description

The Royal Borough of Greenwich \(the Council\) are commissioning Greenwich Extra Care Services \(Contract Ref - SPS2016\) with a contract start date of 4 October 2017\. The Council are seeking to commission one provider across the three Extra Care schemes in Greenwich who is able to provide support in the home that is high quality, promotes independence and improve tenants' quality of life\. In the spirit of the recently commissioned Greenwich Home Support Service, the Providers will: • Use an enabling approach with all tenants • Introduce strategies to reduce inappropriate admissions to acute hospital services through promoting wellbeing and healthier lifestyles • Develop innovative care and support plans that help prevent care needs from becoming more serious or delay the impact of their needs in line with the Care Act • Work closely with other forms of support to enable vibrant Extra Care schemes and utilise informal networks of friends, families and unpaid carers\. • Have a skilled workforce all paid at least London Living Wage One of the defining features of the Extra Care schemes is the 24 hour presence of the Extra Care Provider\. About 65% of tenants have personal care needs met by the onsite team\. We anticipate this percentage to increase over the contract period as Extra Care is seen as a good, independence enhancing, alternative to residential care\.
