We are committed to enhancing care services and meeting the evolving needs of our residents. Our key priorities include: Strengthening partnerships with care providers to ensure high standards and long-term service sustainability. Expanding extra care housing to help more residents stay independent in their own homes. Increasing in-borough dementia care to support those with complex needs. Facilitating timely hospital discharges by working closely with healthcare and social work teams. Ensuring inclusive and culturally sensitive care that meets the diverse needs of our community. Encouraging community connections by linking care providers with local groups and voluntary organisations. Implementing enhanced healthcare services to improve residents’ wellbeing. Gaining deeper insights into self-funded care to better understand and support those who pay for their own care. Our ten-year Housing with Care Strategy (2024-2034) sets out a clear vision to: Enhance existing extra care housing to help residents live independently for longer. Expand the number of extra care housing units by 240, offering a strong alternative to traditional residential care. Reduce out-of-borough placements, allowing more people to stay close to their community. Offer greater choice and support for vulnerable adults with complex needs. Develop modern, technology-integrated housing that supports health and wellbeing. Collaborate with investors and developers to meet future demand effectively.
