Care Services Efficiency Delievery (CSED) has put together this online toolkit to help councils looking to introduce a new homecare re-ablement service or extend or improve an existing service. Organised into eight main sections, the toolkit tackles each of the critical aspects of designing and implementing a successful homecare re-ablement service. It covers both the rationale and benefits as well as project and service management, including tips, templates and case study examples to give practical help to council teams. The eight project steps that help lead to successful homecare re-ablement services are: 1. Setting the vision for a homecare re-ablement service, 2. Building a business case for homecare re-ablement, 3. The high level pathway - designing the optimum customer route through social care services, 4. Applying process design to homecare re-ablement services, 5. Developing the team and skills, 6. Establishing an effective performance management system to track and measure the service, 7. System and form design and 8. Implementing the new service - change and project management.

Intermediate care can deliver better outcomes for people and reduce the pressures on hospitals and the care system, yet its potential has not been fully realised. This paper provides evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of intermediate care and why its development requires additional impetus. It offers key learning points to help guide the future development of intermediate care. They include effective joint working, including the right skill mix in multi-disciplinary team, effective leadership, and having realistic expectations about what intermediate care can achieve. Two case studies show the potential of intermediate care to improve outcomes and deliver efficiencies. The case studies are Trafford’s Stabilise and Make Safe reablement service and bed-based intermediate care provided by Somerset Care and Yeovil District Hospital. (Edited publisher abstract)

This web-based briefing provides a concise summary of the research and policy literature into the means, benefits and difficulties of involving patients in the planning of discharge to community or intermediate care. It also considers the role of carers in this process, as well as what happens when an older person’s ability to communicate their preferences in these matters is affected by dementia, language difficulties, or an unwillingness or reluctance to express preferences about the provision of care. The briefing also examines policy and research findings on older people’s involvement in discharge planning more generally. The briefing was commissioned by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE).

This guideline sets out how health and social care staff can support people to be independent following a hospital stay or when daily life at home becomes too difficult. Intermediate care aims to ensure people transfer from hospital to the community in a timely way and to prevent unnecessary admissions to hospitals and residential care. The guideline covers referral, assessing need for intermediate care, and how to deliver the services. It focuses on 4 service models: bed-based intermediate care, home-based intermediate care, crisis response, and reablement. It provides eight recommendations, which include assessment of need, including setting goals with the person; referral to intermediate care; delivering intermediate care services; transitioning from intermediate care; and training and development. It also highlights recommendations for future research. (Edited publisher abstract)

Produced as part of a pathway mapping activity with practitioners, this document looks at the care older people experience when discharged from hospital in Scotland and the challenges practitioners face. Four of the most common care pathways are identified and illustrated: returning straight home (with or without family support); early supported discharge or intermediate care at home; step down or intermediate care; and admission straight to a care home. The document also presents key findings from a literature review on delayed discharge and the pathway between hospital and home to highlight some of the key problems and solutions. The resource has been developed as part of a 20-month project to redesign the pathway from hospital to home for older people across Scotland. (Edited publisher abstract)
