Resources for providers of home support

The council has worked in partnership with independent sector providers of home support (home care or domiciliary care) to change the way that home support is delivered. We have moved from the 'time and task' model of home support to a relationship-based, personalised and outcome focussed model. In other words a model which is focussed on supporting people to 'live well at home'.

Training videos

We have produced two training videos to support you to bring about this change in your company.

For owners, managers and senior staff

For front line staff

Sample templates

We have also produced the following sample templates for your use:

• Sample one-page profile
• Sample outcome focussed and personalised service plan
• Sample complete outcome focussed service plan 'Anne Smith'
• Sample outcome focussed and personalised service review

If you would like the sample documents in word format please email domcarecontracts@kirklees.gov.uk.
