About

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council awarded a contract to Cera Care Operations Limited for the Home Care and Support IDT Bridging Service, valued at £137,603.

The service is dedicated for use by the Integrated Discharge Team (IDT) to facilitate timely discharges from hospital and discharge to assess step down beds in the community.

It meets the needs identified in a Support Plan for a temporary period until an ongoing care provider is sourced, with no limitation on the length of time support can be provided.

The service is accessed by Rotherham residents over 18 who have been assessed as eligible to receive Home Care and Support commissioned by the Council, and by Home Care and Support recipients who have transitioned from Children and Young People Services (CYPS) to adulthood aged 18-25 years.

People accessing the service may experience dementia, learning disability, sensory impairment, autistic spectrum disorders, mental and emotional distress, severe physical impairment and/or acquired brain injury.
