The Council wants to offer alternatives to
residential and nursing care, including a range of accommodation
and services that increase choice and are better placed to meet the
needs of older people, those living with dementia, a range of other
disabilities, and the changing aspirations of the wider population.
The development of extra care schemes, assistive technology,
specialist environments, re-ablement and early intervention
services with an emphasis on prevention will help us to achieve
this. People will have improved options and more choice.
