Outcome of the Extra care
charging consultation

Content

Noted
the results of two Extra Care consultations
conducted on proposed changes to Adult Extra Care charging policy.
The first consultation was conducted across May - June 2023 with
tenants then residing in the three Extra Care schemes; the second
consultation was conducted across July-August 2024 with borough
residents on the Extra Care waiting list and those tenants who had
moved into the Schemes from July 2023.
 
Approved
the following three recommended options for
implementing changes to the charging policy within the three
Greenwich Extra Care settings at Richard Neve, Colebrook and Lakeview:

·       
Option 4 (from Appendix C of the report) to remove
banded charging mechanism and move to charge on actuals.

·       
Option 6 (from Appendix C of
the report) to introduce &
apply a consistent core charge across all three schemes.

·       
Option 7 (from Appendix C of the report) to
introduce & apply a consistent hourly rate for care &
support based on actuals.
