Community Recovery Service
The CRS Programme aims to provide Warwickshire residents with increased opportunities for ‘homefirst’ support after hospital discharge. It establishes a single access point for the service, facilitating quick discharge and home assessment for more individuals. Therapy is available during the assessment of their longer-long-term care needs, with an ambition of discharging more people within 24 hours of referral.
This will enable access to a mix of domiciliary care and therapy support at home, which is free for up to six weeks, to allow patients to regain and maintain their independence or to maximise recovery post hospital admission. The council is commissioning domiciliary care in a different way, using pre-paid blocks of domiciliary care, to ensure flexibility and a reablement ethos for the individual at home, rather than in hospital.
The table below shows the number of hours delivered for CRS between April to August 2023. This shows that the most common zone for referrals is Zone 3 followed by Zone 4 and Zone 2 which matches that of the number of domiciliary care hours sourced to date.
