Message from Buckinghamshire Council:
We want adults with care and support needs to access high quality day opportunities and overnight respite services so that they can live well and independently as part of their communities.
We provide services through a range of external organisations across the county, the majority of which are charities, and through a council-run service called ‘short breaks’.
The council-run ‘short breaks’ service includes seven council-run and owned Adult Social Care day centres. One of the centres (Seeleys House) also has an overnight respite unit. We know that these centres are highly valued by carers and families and the adults they support. There are also however challenges. Our council-run day centre buildings are underused, some are in poor condition, and the service is not providing value for money.
We are undertaking a 12-week consultation to seek views from carers and families, adults supported, community groups, providers and the public on how we can improve services and our preferred option for change. Find out more and have your say at buckinghamshire.gov.uk/better-lives-in-our-communities. The consultation closes at 11:59pm on Tuesday 7 January 2025.
