Description from the notice

Leicestershire County Council (the Authority) is committed to the delivery of high-quality Adult Social Care Services and Health Care Services within Home Care for residents of Leicestershire who are assessed as requiring Home Care. The Authority wishes to work in 'Partnership' with independent sector Home Care Providers ("Providers"), who can demonstrate and maintain quality standards in line with the Council's Service Specification ("Specification"), which has at its core the Care Quality Commission's Regulations and is in accordance with the Care Act 2014. Providers are required to deliver services focusing on the health, safety, enablement, progression and wellbeing of people who require such services. They must enable people to gain, maintain or regain skills to help them live independently and recover from illness. The Service, wherever possible, supports people to prevent unnecessary admission to hospital and residential care. The service should also support people to be discharged from hospital or move out of long or short term, building based care.
