  3. The future for Central Bedfordshire Significant housing growth underway and more to come over the next decade. Area is very diverse with an urban south and a more rural north so solutions have to be based on local needs and preferences. Demographic pressures of an ageing population.

  4. The Challenges for Central Bedfordshire Strong political ambitions coupled with a desire to innovate. Very significant budgetary constraint across the council and wider public sector. Many services have been modernised but this is still work in progress. Benefits of health integration are acknowledged but the capacity to deliver is still being developed.

  5. The national challenges in delivery of accommodation for older people Reduced HCA grant support LHA ‘cap’ Increasing construction costs

  6. The national opportunities in delivery of accommodation for older people • Continued development of ‘what good looks like’: • HAPPI3 • Designing with Downsizers • More private sector developers of specialist housing are recognising opportunities. • Volume housebuilders are starting to take notice.

  7. Central Bedfordshire Council’s approach Approach to the whole market – not just those needing public support. Addressing the entire continuum from general needs housing to care and nursing homes. Keen to use Council assets where appropriate and to maximum effect. Working with the Planning system. Keen to engage with the market and to develop partnerships. Not wedded to particular delivery models – consider what will work best in the circumstances.

  8. Achievements so far… • Two of six planned extra care schemes now delivered • Priory View – CBC • Greenfields – Aldwyck HA

  15. Achievements so far… • Two of six planned extra care schemes now delivered • Priory View – CBC • Greenfields – Aldwyck HA • Two new care homes to replace outdated Council capacity. Five further homes to be reprovided. • Developed and launched Older Person’s Accommodation Investment Prospectus

  16. What is in the Prospectus? • Creating a joined up approach to accommodation for older people • Provides information on: • Demand information • Existing provision • Planned provision • Future needs and existing gaps • Council’s intentions and priorities • Variations across Central Bedfordshire

  17. Going Forward - the Council’s Vision Commitment to the delivery of Extra Care is undiminished but need to refine the model based on experience and changing environment. Need to ensure schemes are cost effective. Looking to create blends of affordable, intermediate and market rate provision. Ensure that Council schemes also contribute to other Council’s priorities. Actively explore the use of technology to improve outcomes and reduce costs. Actively explore delivery models including joint ventures and trading company

  18. Next Steps… • Two new extra care schemes are planning consent stage: • Houghton Regis • Arlesey • Next iteration of Prospectus should dovetail with the Local Plan and will contain outcomes of local research into the needs of older people. • Also working to establish Local Plan policy requiring accessible housing • Using experience inform development of accommodation for other groups such as vulnerable adults

  19. Two key areas to activity… Integration with NHS Service modernisation – day services for older people and vulnerable adults

  20. Integration with NHS: The national agenda Person-centred not service-centred provision ‘Joined up’ services Shared information and joined up processes Co-location of health and social care professionals ‘Whole system’ approach to evaluation of costs and benefits

  21. Integration with NHS: Local Initiatives and Opportunities • Development of health and care hubs to meet local needs and priorities. • Developing joint approach to deliver community-based inpatient/residential care provision. • Developing the role of existing and future extra care schemes • Reablement facilities • Consulting rooms for health professionals

  22. Modernisation of Day Services: The Challenges Large, outdated buildings Reducing usage – especially vulnerable adults Unclear service outcomes Lack of personalisation Cost pressures

  23. Modernisation of Day Services: Work so far… Worked with existing customers, carers and other stakeholders to develop a new ‘day offer’ based on their needs. Currently undertaking public consultation. Next phase will be to review current services and centres and propose changes. Looking to deliver new services integrated with other provision.

  24. Modernisation of Day Services: Opportunities Use of communal space, catering and care facilities in extra care schemes. New-build care homes to have space that can be used for or adapted for delivery of day services. Potential for new integrated health and care facilities to offer services. Use of other community facilities – leisure centres and community centres

  25. In conclusion… An exciting, challenging and complex agenda. Keen to explore innovations both in what is delivered and how it is delivered. Keen to learn from experience and incorporate lessons learned into subsequent initiatives. Keen to share our experiences and hear about yours
