The proposal is to commission 8
Complex Discharge to Assess beds with the Federation of Jewish
Services and to work in partnership with Bolton Council to
commission a 15 bedded unit for complex dementia support, 7 beds
for Bolton and 8 for Bury. Bolton have secured the funding and went
operational at the end of February 2023.
 
The proposed implementation
would be in two stages with Bury being operational in May 2023,
offering a step up/step down model with more specialist, time
limited care to assess and stabilise the customer before moving on
to long term care.
 
The new Complex Dementia
Discharge to Assess unit would be based at Heathlands and would in
partnership with the existing discharge to Assess service and
Bolton Council, to maximise resources wherever possible to reduce
costs.
