Living Well and Early Help Service for Adults on the Isle of Wight

Award outcome

Description

The Living Well and Early Help offer is designed to be outcome focused looking at the diverse resources available within our community to meet our islands resident's needs. The current Living Well and Early Help Service on average each month supports over seven hundred people and provides over six hundred and fifty hours of support through their volunteers.This has been in place for 5 years (at expiry) and we need to continue for a further year alongside Public Health colleagues. This will enable us to meet the overarching key objectives of: • Increasing the ability of residents to participate in the planning of their care and support, and where they are able, to self-care to manage their own health conditions; • Helping people to live well and gain, maintain or regain their independence to meet their own objectives; • Reducing reliance on statutory services (GP's, acute hospital services and social care), delaying the need for emergency admission to hospital and/or permanent move into residential or nursing care.
