Provision of 2:1 Care and Support for Service User with Complex Needs in Blyth

About

Gateshead Council awarded a contract to LIFE Newcastle Home Care Associates Ltd for the provision of care and support to a vulnerable person with complex needs living in the Blyth area of Northumberland.

The service user requires 2:1 care and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including 2:1 support while in the community.

Complex needs in this context relate primarily to a service user with needs that result in difficulty finding and accessing appropriate support services, which may be due to the level of risk the service user presents to other service users, staff, or themselves, or due to the high level of care and support required.
