The number of people in nursing homes decreasedbetween 1999 and 2000 but is now growing and the number in residential homes increased.Provision of special needs housing is relatively low. The rate of older people receiving homecare is relatively high and they are more likely to receive an intensive service (more than 10hours per week) than in many other authorities.Improvements in the home care service which are currently under way include:• training in personal care tasks;• extending to 6 weeks the Hospital to Home and Rapid Response Teams attached to thehospital to help prevent admission to hospital and facilitate discharge;• expanding the community alarm service to cover greater number of clients, including thosewith dementia;• implementation of the best value review of home care leading to more flexible serviceprovision; and• as a complementary programme, best value reviews are being undertaken on residentialand day care facilities which should result in upgrading of facilities and improved staffing.A significant number of older people have experienced delays in discharges from hospital.The Department has speeded up assessment procedures and signed off a discharge protocol.A joint commissioning plan has been agreed which will enhance community based services.Despite past difficulties between the Council and its health partners over joint working andresource transfer and release, a Partnership in Practice Agreement (PiP) is now in place for thedevelopment of services for people with learning disabilities. The joint strategy group thatdeveloped the PiP oversees its implementation: it includes a person with learning disability, anindependent advocacy worker and four family carers. A best value review of learning disabilityservices is planned, which will include the modernisation of traditional day services.A mental health joint strategy group has reviewed the Health Board’s strategy, but its financialframework has not been agreed. An integrated community mental health team based in Paisley’sCharleston Centre provides a service to people with severe and enduring mental illness.210
