Solihull wants people to receive the support they need, when they need it and for as long as it is needed. We want people to maximise their independence and remain in their homes for as long they want to or can do so We want to work with providers who can demonstrably support people to achieve their outcomes and seek solutions when challenges and issues arise that affect the existing support plan.
