The Isle of Anglesey County Council are pleased to announce that on 8th November 2019 the Domiciliary Care transformation team project won the Putting People First / Personalisation Award at the Welsh heat of the Great British Care Awards 2019.
The Great British Care Awards are a series of regional events throughout the UK and are a celebration of excellence across the care sector. The purpose of the awards are to pay tribute to those individuals or teams who have demonstrated outstanding excellence within their field of work.
The remodelling of the Domiciliary Care service saw the introduction of a contract which improves services delivery, quality and choice for individuals who require support by having a single provider in each patch of the Island (3 patches in total). This transformation has ensured people who require help at home, or following a hospital stay receive that care quickly regardless of where they live in Anglesey and allows individuals to stay as independent as possible within their own homes.
The team / project will now go forward to the national finals which are being held in March 2020.
Alwyn Jones, Director of Social Services would like to thank the departmental staff and council members for all their support, and to the citizens of Anglesey for working in partnership with the local authority to allow the service improvements to be made.
