This is a quarterly update with
information about Adult Social Care's consultations – current consultations
that you can take part in and the results of closed consultations. Please share
this newsletter with any groups or forums that you think might be interested.
If you have questions about any of the
consultations, or you need a copy of the information in a different format –
such as large print or in another language – please get in touch with the key
contact for that consultation.
We
produce Easy Read information about some surveys. This might be
leaflets, flyers or sometimes questionnaires. See the website pages for each
consultation to find out what you could print out.
If you would like to be added to the list to receive
this update or you want to be removed from the list please email
us.
We want to hear what you think about our plan to change the way we
provide our learning disability residential and day services in the Crowborough
area.
We are proposing to:
- Provide a new residential service from one site in Crowborough.
- Include a day service on the ground floor of the new building in Crowborough.
The residential services provided at Greenacres, Beacongate and The
Gables would move to the new site, as would the day services provided at
Southview.
We need to make sure that services are good value for money and the best
they can be. We think our plans are the best way of doing that, but we want to
know what you think and whether you have any other ideas.
We've been meeting with residents of the Residential Services and their
families and carers in February and March. We will be meeting with people who
use the Southview Day Service and their families and carers in April.
The consultation closes on 13 May 2016.

We wanted to know what people thought of our
plan to ask people to pay for the community support service (the service helps
people to be more independent). People would only pay if they could afford to.

As a result of the consultation we made some
changes to our plan:
- We were planning to ask people to pay from April 2016. Now, if you have to pay, we will ask you to start paying in July 2016 instead of April 2016.
- We have sent everyone who uses the service a copy of the cancellation policy that will apply from July 2016.
- We agreed that people should pay less for group support in the community. We have set a lower cost for group support.
The Lead Member for Adult Social Care
considered our revised plan and what people had told us in the consultation on 31
March. It was decided that we will go ahead with the plan to charge for the
community support service.

will be presented to the Lead Member for Adult Social Care & Community
Safety on 9 June 2016.
