CT1077 - Care and Repair Service

Description

The Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership (EHSCP) require the provision of a Care and Repair Service within the City of Edinburgh boundary. The service will help older people and people with disabilities live independently in their own homes by providing small repairs and minor adaptations, a key-safe fitting service, a handyperson service, trade referrals and assistance with major adaptations. Independent living is key to improving health and wellbeing and timely provision of equipment, repairs and minor adaptations can help vulnerable citizens live in their own home for as long as possible, avoid hospital admission and support hospital discharge. Enabling independent living is a key theme of the Edinburgh Integration Joint Board’s Strategic Plan and the provision of the care and repair service will help deliver on the following National Health and Wellbeing Outcomes: Outcome 2: People, including those with disabilities or long-term conditions, or who are frail, are able to live, as far as reasonably practicable, independently and at home or in a homely setting in their community. Outcome 3: People who use health and social care services have positive experiences of those services, and have their dignity respected. Outcome 4: Health and social care services are centred on helping to maintain or improve the quality of life of people who use those services.
