Decision details

Elderly Care Home Property Review (SG15)

Decision Maker: Executive

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The homes that were originally transferred out of Council control at the time Borough Care Limited was created were fit for purpose but are now tired and outdated and do not meet expectations of residents, operators or commissioners. We need to make sure Borough Care can meet the demands of the new market where older family run homes are in decline and larger purpose built, efficient and modern homes are being built to serve the needs of our communities. This Draft Full Business Case sets out the options for potential investment in the care home portfolio operated by Borough Care.

Decision:

The Executive considered the outcome of the Elderly Care Home Property Review and a draft full Business Case for potential investment in the care home portfolio to ensure a sustainable future for Borough Care Limited (BCL) and Adult Social Care and agreed that

 

•           the proposed programme and the allocation of appropriate capital resources to be invested over the programme period as outlined in the report and confidential appendices be approved;

•           that a further report be submitted to Corporate, Resource Management &Governance Scrutiny Committee and Adult Care Services & Housing Scrutiny Committee to provide further supporting information when the project develops.
