3 Extra Care Facilities

Trafford Council are looking to tender the provision of care services for people living in an extra care housing scheme. The purpose of this specification is to protect the service user. In providing services on behalf of the Council, all providers will be expected to maintain high professional standards in carrying out their work. In commissioning these services, the Council will be expected to maintain high professional standards in carrying out their role. Extra care housing schemes entail the provision of rented and/or owner-occupied housing with a range of design features and services that enable vulnerable adults and older people to self-care for longer, promote their independence and facilitate them remaining in their own homes where they might otherwise have to move to a care home environment. The objective of the Council is to enable service users to receive the best possible support services in accordance with the lifestyle and wishes of each individual.
