Day care services
The above graph illustrates the distribution of Warwickshire County Council (WCC) funded Daycare packages, including Complex Needs Day Services, across the Personal Support Reasons (PSR) throughout the documented timeframe. Complex Needs Day Services provide a high level of support for individuals with complex needs, including one-to-one and two-to-one care and support. There is a building base at each of these services which can be utilised.
For individuals with Learning Disabilities, we can see a reduction in commissioned care from 315 in April 2018 to 286 in April 2023. People with Mental Health and Physical Disability needs reveal a lower level of usage of day care services. Additionally, it merits investigation if this demographic remains unrepresented in WCC’s data due to the primary recording of the main PSR need. Recognising that individuals can have multiple needs underscores the importance of uncovering the nuances that influence these trends. This scrutiny is pivotal for ensuring the continuous provision of targeted care services.
Given these observations, it is imperative to understand if this is an area we need to facilitate further development and growth. By conducting a thorough analysis and addressing potential gaps in our services, we can ensure that the diverse needs of our community are met effectively, thereby promoting inclusivity and comprehensive care.
