IA2686 Furnished Rooms to support Hospital Discharge

Staffordshire County Council is exploring the option of funding available capacity within older persons extra care or sheltered accommodation settings to support individuals leaving hospital with low level care needs for immediate use. The aim of this capacity is to support the flow of individuals out of those Staffordshire hospitals experiencing high discharge pressures currently.
A safe environment is needed for those individuals to regain their confidence to eventually move back to their home to live independently.
