Impact report presenting the findings from the first year of the Managing Better service, in Wales. The service is a 3-year project, funded from the Welsh Government and is led by Care & Repair Cymru in partnership with RNIB Cymru, Action on Hearing Loss Cymru and Care & Repair Agencies across Wales. The service builds on the expertise of the traditional Care & Repair service and also provides additional expertise in the area of sensory loss. This enables older people in Wales to access a service where both their housing and sensory needs can be addressed. It also tackles issues of isolation and loneliness, which can have a significant impact on physical and mental well-being. The report shows that that integrating the impact of sight and hearing loss into home improvement and in support of independent living has had a crucial impact on the lives of older people. It is reported that in first year (2016/17) Managing Better helped 1,425 people with a Healthy Home Assessment, which resulted in providing services such as home adaptations, working with partners to provide specialist sensory equipment and the provision of welfare benefit assessments. It estimates that just by taking into account the number of falls prevented, the service has resulted in savings for the NHS and social care of £11.50 for every £1 invested.

A case study of Bridgend County Care and Repair's Managing Better service. The service is a three year programme funded by the Welsh Government, which has been co-produced by Care & Repair Cymru, RNIB Cymru and Action on Hearing Loss Cymru. The report shows how Managing Better is working across primary, secondary, and social care, to develop interventions and prevent avoidable pressures on public services. The service has a focus on increasing independence, reducing dependency and improving personal resilience. Individual case studies are included which show how Managing Better has operated in Bridgend and that by effectively targeting interventions service users' quality of life can be much improved and pressure on public services can be reduced. The case studies include services for patients moving from hospital to home patients, and helping people with visual impairment or hearing impairment to live independently at home. It is estimated that every £1 invested in Managing Better yields a £4 saving in other services. (Edited publisher abstract)

This document sets out the National Minimum Standards for domiciliary care agencies. They form the criteria by which the Care Standards Inspectorate for Wales (“CSIW”) will determine whether the agency provides personal care to the required standard. The purpose of these minimum standards is to ensure the quality of personal care and support which people receive whilst living in their own home in the community. These standards establish the minimum required; i.e. they state a standard of service provision below which an agency providing personal care for people living in their own home must not fall. Whilst broad in scope, these Standards acknowledge the unique and complex needs of individuals and the additional specific knowledge and skills required in order to deliver a service that is tailored to the needs of each person. These Standards will be applied to agencies providing personal care to the wide range of people who need care and support whilst living in their own home, including: older people, people with physical disabilities, people with sensory loss including dual sensory impairment, people with mental health problems, people with learning disabilities, children and their families, and personal or family carers.
