Birmingham City Council awarded a 1-year contract, with an option to extend for a further year subject to satisfactory performance and budget availability, to West Midlands Care Association Limited for the provision of a Trusted Assessor Support Service.

The service commenced on 6th January 2020 and covers care homes in Birmingham, Sandwell, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Coventry, and Solihull.

The provider facilitates approximately 1,200 discharges annually from City Hospital and Enhanced Assessment Bed (EAB) providers to care homes, including discharges to short-term EABs, package re-starts to long-term beds, and new placements.

Acting as an independent and unbiased assessor, the provider supports the Council, care homes, home care providers, and Adult Social Care to ensure timely assessments for citizens requiring residential and/or nursing provision following hospital or EAB admission, thereby enabling safe and timely discharge.

The service aims to deliver more timely and effective patient and resident services, reduce hospital visits and associated paperwork for care homes, minimize discharge delays, and conduct assessments with confidentiality, respect, dignity, and privacy.
