Care At Home Services Neighbourhood Model Consultation

Cheshire East Council is redesigning its Care at Home services through a shift from a traditional borough-wide framework to a Neighbourhood Model. Under this new approach, care providers will operate within defined geographical areas, collaborating with residents, the Council, and partner organisations to deliver outcomes-focused, strengths-based care tailored to each community's unique needs. Key aspects of the new model include: • Providers operating in specific neighbourhoods based on local demand and population need • Fewer overall providers than the current framework, with greater emphasis on stability and continuity • Sustainable local partnerships and integrated community working The Council is conducting a survey to gather essential information from current and prospective providers, including: • Current geographical service locations across Cheshire East • Future plans for service delivery within the borough • Interest from new or out-of-area providers in establishing local services • Capacity, growth plans, and operational constraints Your participation will directly inform the development of a sustainable, neighbourhood-based commissioning model that improves service quality and local outcomes. The survey responses will help the Council understand current provision, identify geographic coverage gaps, and design a commissioning approach that supports provider stability and continuity of care.
