 | What does it do?The service has been developed in partnership with Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) and will work with individuals who are in need of secondary level support following: - A critical incident in their lives
- An episode of acute ill health (often chronic disease)
- An assessment which indicates social isolation, poor health or gradual decline in ability to live independently
- When time limited support is required following a hospital stay or crisis
The service is short term, usually time limited up to a maximum of 6 weeks, and for individuals that do not meet the LCC’s Fair Access to Care criteria but are assessed as needing secondary level support in order to maintain or re-gain improved levels of independence and prevent or reduce their need for statutory services. |
