To approve the extension of a Care Rooms pilot
for a period of two years with associated funding
It has been agreed to extend the Selby Care
Rooms pilot scheme across wider areas of North Yorkshire for a
period of 24 months. This aims to support and facilitate discharge
from hospital and provide respite opportunities for adults with
assessed care needs
Care Rooms is a community based short-term bed
provision that operates out of people’s homes, known as
Hosts. As well as offering short stay bed provision for those
requiring support following discharge from hospital due to elective
surgery, falls or illness, Care Rooms also acts as a respite option
for those wanting to stay in a more family environment. It offers a
unique and innovative approach to addressing ongoing pressures in
the care market by harnessing the strengths, assets and resources
that exist within local communities.
Extending the Care Rooms Pilot across other localities in the
county would provide further care options for Hospital Discharge
teams to utilise, improving the system flow of people to a home
first option. Extending this approach to other people and
communities countywide could unlock community assets and resources,
as well as providing needed respite options in areas that are
limited for this type of provision.
