Description

The Lincolnshire Health and Care System is working to embed a home first culture and approach to discharge and patient flow. There is a recognition that hospital acquired functional decline results in less than optimal outcomes and people should be afforded the opportunity to return directly home from hospital for longer term needs to be identified and assessed in a more familiar setting. Active Recovery Beds describe a pathway for a facility where people are ready to be discharged from hospital but are not ready to return to their former home or level of independence. They may require time, support, care and potentially therapies to enable them to be re-abled to return home. The Council wishes to commission a total of 40 Active Recovery Beds (July to December 2023) and 60 Active Recovery Beds (January to March 2024) in registered residential care homes across the county. There will be between 10 and 20 Active Recovery Beds in each of the three distinct geographic areas covering the East, South and West of Lincolnshire. It is expected that the Council will contract with more than one Provider to meet the volume requirement of Active Recovery Beds. Each care home will provide a minimum of 10 beds to be used solely for the Active Recovery Bed service.
