Essex County Council awarded a contract to ECL for the Short Term Support in the Community service, which provides health and social care support for up to six weeks to adults over 18 with complex needs, such as advanced dementia or challenging behaviour, who would not benefit from the Reablement at Home service.

The service offers immediate support to individuals at crisis point, including when normal care arrangements break down, and ensures ongoing care needs are assessed at the right time and place, typically in the customer's home.

It complements the Reablement at Home and Longer Term support services and supports the council's Good Lives Approach to social care practice.

The contract value is £21,000,000.
