Essex Cares developing prevention outcomes for Essex Citizens.
Monday 14th May 2012
Much of the work of Essex Cares is focused on achieving preventative and successful outcomes for individuals and their families in retaining independence at home. Our Countywide Reablement service provides support for people discharged from hospital to find their independence as quickly as possible on their return home. Our Equipment service provides a similar service to ensure specialist equipment is assessed, delivered, and fitted as quickly as possible. Our Sensory Services are involved daily in enabling individuals become familiar with their home and community environment. Our Community Services through 48 different sites provide much needed support to adults with a learning and/or physical disability as well as older people and their carers to maintain their independence and dignity without need for potential residential or hospital care. Overall Essex Cares enables more than 115,000 people a year retain their independence without recourse for more expensive services resulting from the breakdown of home living. The actual cost of these preventive services and savings achieved for the Essex economy run into several millions of pounds each year.
In supporting people achieve general well-being Essex Cares has now expanded its range of services to the private market as well. Through our HomeSafe service Essex Cares offers immediate assessment and provision of specialist equipment and domiciliary care to individuals and families wishing to purchase services. During May leaflets on this service have been delivered to each household in the county backed up by an advertising campaign on buses and local radio to highlight the benefits of this service to local people."
