Under the proposed changes to the service, the Southampton City Council wants to provide most of the rest period through a mixed economy model in its location in Kentish Road and Weston Court.
The local authority will operate the Kantic road, which will increase from a capacity of four beds to six beds, and an external provider will be appointed to operate the Weston court.
Besides, the council will assign services to adults with the most complex needs who need higher levels of employment or skilled employees in carrying out more complex clinical tasks.
Currently, the Rose Road Association is running to provide 781 nights per year for adults who need such services.
The proposals, which are scheduled to be determined at the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, April 29, will witness the council’s use of Rose Road, with some customers transferred to Kentish Road or Weston Court.
At the meeting of the Audit and Auditing Committee on Thursday, April 24, the Director of Social Welfare for adults, Rob Henderson, said that the council was planning a “more measured approach” than it was previously.
He said there will be an individual evaluation, while participating with caregivers, families and residents.
Officer’s report No. 83,250 EGP annually gave to cover additional costs for customers with the most complex needs.
The head of the assignment department, Donna Chapman, said that this depends on the “desktop evaluation” for the existing customers funded by the council who use Rose Road, with the aim of some can be supported in one of the other sites.
She said, taking into account the approval of the Council of Ministers, detailed talks will be held with Rose Road and families.
A senior officer said that any transfers to a different site will need an agreed timetable and close the work together.
However, Rose Rudd, head of financial services and central services, said that the majority of the persons listed in the initial evaluation of the council will not be suitable for serving one employee for three customers, as a proposal for the Kenich Road and Weston court.
Ms. Dinet said that the needs of these individuals must make a budget in the region with a value of £ 200,000 instead of 83,250 pounds in the report.
“Our fears are whether these families will be listened properly and evaluate their needs properly because the comments that we have confirmed for sure from families are that they have concerns about this,” said Ms. Dinet.
“We want to ensure our full service users support and get the correct care they need.
“Certainly, we want to work with the council to ensure the needs of these individuals.”
Mrs. Chapman said that all of this is part of the discussions that will need to be done.
She added: “This does not mean that we say that we will not look forward to increasing some employees at times on the way to meet the highest needs, but it will be part of the discussion and detailed planning that we have to do.”
