The Council have instructed Valuing Care Ltd to undertake an independent review of the cost of providing care home services for older people in Devon. Valuing Care have been reviewing the cost of care home services since 2006 and have developed established processes for undertaking cost surveys and identifying the usual costs of care.
The objective of this review is to provide commissioners with the latest intelligence about the cost of delivering services and the current pressures faced by local providers. The scope of this exercise is for all long stay residential placements funded by Devon County Council. Health placements and hospital discharge rates are excluded.
Devon County Council is inviting all Older Persons care home providers located in Devon to take part in this process. Providers will first be given the opportunity to review the draft survey template which has been designed to calculate unit costs for each service category.
This meeting will be an opportunity to find out more about the process and feedback on the template which will be used to gather the care cost information.
