Introduction of 61 Broadoak Road, Continuing Care Ltd
Continuing Care is a 24 hour supported accommodation and care Service based focussing on Rehabilitation and Recovery for adults with complex mental health disorders including multi morbidity and on-going mental health and physical health conditions for adults.
The aim of the service is to provide patient centered, safe and high quality of to all our patients. Our strategy is to improve the manage mental health conditions, support with rehabilitation, independence and to improve quality of life for individuals who would have recently been discharged from Mental Health settings or Hospitals. Some individuals somtimes require extra support with cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping and escort to health appointments and these can be facilitated as a planned care package.
Philosophy
Continuing Care aims to offer positive rehabilitation & long-term care. Our focus is on best practice with an integrated collaborative framework that will deliver quality clinical programmes with a person centred approach, which values individual’s cultural, spiritual and religious beliefs with a robust set of outcomes and evaluation measures.
We use purposeful evidence based practice interventions which enables people to connect and become part of their community and be satisfied and successful in their living, working, learning and social environment of their choice.
Patient Involvement:
The patients using Continuing Care are encouraged to take an active and collaborative role in their care, through shared decision making with the team, involvement of carers at the earliest opportunity and by offering a choice of specialist and bespoke interventions.
In summary, service users are provided with:
- Holistic, person centred care to meet psychological, social, physical and spiritual needs of the individual, regardless of ethnic, cultural, spiritual or religious beliefs, disability, age, or sexuality.
- Promotion of physical health and wellbeing.
- Patient centred specialist assessment, care planning formulation, involving family, carers and significant others where appropriate.
- Improve patient outcomes so that individuals can live a meaningful and contributing life.
- Therapeutic interventions, care and support in an environment that is safe and conducive to maximising the potential rehabilitation of the individual where appropriate.
- Links to external agencies.
- Co-ordinated and integrated care, so that individual’s needs are met at the appropriate time and transitions from the service are actively managed by maintaining the appropriate level of support at the point of transition and subsequent to discharge. This means that transitions are as seamless as possible.
- Promote a positive risk taking culture.
- Involve the service users in decisions about their care in order to promote autonomy, empowerment and independence.
- Develop relationships with patients that promote autonomy and concordance with treatment
- Empower patients to manage and monitor their own conditions as much as possible
- Encourage involvement in support networks
- Adopt an approach that aims to improve the quality of life by taking account of the person’s individual preferences for treatment, lifestyle, needs and health priorities.
Supporter Involvement:
We recognise that carers, family member’s friends and neighbours may play a key role key role in a patient’s life and recovery. Evidence highlights the impact this supporter role can have on the person providing the support and we will therefore:
- Provide carers with a welcome Pack. This contains important information about Continuing Care and the supported accommodation .
- Have a named staff member who will have a role as a Keyworker, who along with a number of other functions will ensure the implementation of the Supporters Charter
- Encourage supporters wherever possible to be involved in the patients care and treatment from the point of admission and through to discharge.
- Seek supporter’s views through feedback channels and act upon these views for service improvement developments.
Referral/Admission Process:
All referred patients will be over 18 years old or CAMHS services approaching their 18th birthday with a view of admission post 18.
The key focus is on people with chronic and enduring mental disorders whom have multiple areas of need associated with complex mental health disorders and co-morbidities. They would be either stepping up from the community or being discharged from Hospitals or other healthcare services.
Most will have a diagnosis of Psychosis, Schizophrenia and or affective disorder and are referred at the point when it has become clear that they have responded adequately to usual treatment and are ready to be discharged home or in the community. They may have needs that impact on their ability to function at several basic and complex skill levels and which may limit their capacity for future change. They will usually have had experience of rehabilitation settings or been considered for such settings. They will have potential to benefit from support offered by the unit to progress towards their personal recovery utilising a range of methods both directive, non-directive and personal support.
Patients will usually have significant levels of disability from complex co-morbid conditions, such that they require an enhanced level of support that Continuing Care offers.
Pathway to admission:
Two members of the MDT, to provide a holistic approach, will usually assess patients that are referred to the service.
The aim of our pre-admission assessment is to ensure that the clinical team understands the whole of the patient’s needs and wishes. Once the initial assessment has been done the team will meet to discuss whether we feel we can achieve the goal of helping the patient to regain their independence, and move to a life worth living in the community, or if a longer term bed is required we will ensure we can meet the patients’ needs by having a full MDT meeting to decide as a team if we feel we are the appropriate placement for the patient. If we feel we can achieve that with the patient, we will offer admission
From the point of offering a bed, the clinical team is planning for discharge, unless a long-term bed is required, and everything we do is for that purpose. However, our aim is not just discharge from hospital; it is discharge to a life the patient wants. This cannot succeed unless the patient is empowered to take responsibility for their future. This is why our emphasis, from the start, is on a partnership between the patient and the team that progresses steadily towards the patient regaining autonomy in their life.
