Short Term Care Consultation

Short Term Care Consultation

Sheffield City Council would like your views about short-term care for older people. This is care which supports a person for a limited period of time.

Typically, short-term care is used when family members (unpaid carers) are temporarily unable to provide support, or need a break from their caring role, for example when an unpaid carer is admitted to hospital.

Short-term care includes:

  • emergency support
  • planned and pre-booked support to provide an unpaid carer with a break, (for example through respite in a care home).
  • arranging your own care through a direct payment

For the purposes of this survey, short-term care does not include ‘reablement’ support which is designed to help a person recover and regain their independence after the effects of illness, injury or medical condition.

This consultation is primarily for unpaid carers, social care workers and anyone using short-term care to complete.

The information from this consultation will be used to help Sheffield City Council produce a short-term care strategy for older people. The strategy will help change and improve short-term care options across the city. The survey is entirely anonymous – however if you would like to speak with someone about your answers in more detail, please leave your contact details at the end of the survey.

The survey closes on 25th September 2020. If you have any questions or would like more information contact – Rob Addenbrooke (Commissioning Officer) Tel: 07766 3655821, Email: Robert.Addenbrooke@sheffield.gov.uk

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
