RESOLVED:

(a) To endorse the “Adult Social Care Accommodation Strategy 2024-2034”, appended to the report of the Executive Member for Health and Social Care.

(b) To deliver the commitments and work with partners to fulfil the commitments in the Strategy.

(c) To note that the Strategy linked to, and aligned with, the Council’s Strategic Asset Management Plan

Reasons for the decision – The Accommodation Strategy’s vision was for Islington residents to live healthy, fulfilling, and independent lives in a safe place they called home. The Council would support residents with care needs to remain as independent as possible in their own homes. Where this was no longer possible, the Council aimed to support residents in bespoke, high-quality accommodation-based care services, as close to home as possible, helping to maintain links with their communities and support networks.

Other options considered – A wide range of options were considered, all as detailed in the report. The development of the Strategy was led by Adult Social Care Strategic Commissioning and Investment Team, with coproduction with residents.

Conflicts of interest / dispensations granted – none
