Our shared day-to-day focus

  • Joined-up and personalised support that enables independence, helps people to live as close to home as possible, draws on support from their communities and prevents or delays inappropriate admission to hospital or long-term care.
  • If people need it, they can choose between a broad range of high-quality options for care and support and are always treated with dignity and respect.
  • People can successfully manage the changes in their lives.
  • People live in suitable and affordable homes in attractive places within a supportive community.

Tracking our shared impact:

  • overall life satisfaction
  • loneliness and isolation
  • suitable housing
  • % people who live without social care support.
