About

The service is based on principles of rights, independence, choice, inclusion, and safety, and primarily offers respite to individuals whose needs require a suitable physical environment with resources such as tracking and hoist systems.

It does not include nursing provision, but service users' health needs are met by suitably trained provider staff and/or in partnership with local Health Services.

The contract value is £1,366,335.
