Meeting - 6 October 2005

Date: Thursday 6th October

Venue: Shropshire Education and Conference Centre, Shrewsbury

Time: 14:00-16:00

Topics

Intermediate Care

· The Service Manager will speak on the free NHS funding of up to 6 weeks care in certain circumstances for people who are ‘failing’ in their own homes or who need some TLC before returning from hospital to their home.

Care at Home

· A talk by a Local Authority Service Manager at the Shropshire County Council on provision of care for people in their own homes including the needs assessment process and the financial assessment.

Christine Wright who is the head of training at Health and Social Care will also be on hand to answer any questions we may have.

These are areas with which some of us may not be involved, but knowledge of them can be of enormous assistance to our elderly clients at times of difficulty, e.g. in the financial assessment process, disability related expenditure is extremely important and some older clients need help in understanding this.
