Discretionary Assistance:
Assistance is available to local residents to help in:
- Reducing or eliminating hospital admissions and readmissions
- Allowing a speedier discharge from hospital
- To consider the long term needs of individuals and reduce associated treatment and social care costs
To enable this, the following may be provided:
- Assisting with essential works such as repairs
- Provision of necessary equipment
- Deep cleaning/de-cluttering
- Enabling homes to be efficiently heated for persons whose long term health conditions or age makes them vulnerable to the cold
The Council will provide funding for these services to eligible applicants that meet one or more of the aims of the policy where it is a housing related issue, which is preventing discharge from hospital, or to improve the home environment to prevent hospital admission in the first place.
