How Carehome Selection delivered savings of £446,691.20 in just nine months
One example of our work is the scheme we have been running in Hillingdon since July 2006, managing more than 452 care packages and placements.
Our specialist knowledge of this complex field has delivered tailor-made care for each individual and massive savings for the PCT.
From July 2006 to April 2007 alone, savings amounted to £446,691.20.
Marion Tunbridge, Carehome Selection Manager for Hillingdon explains: “We get on really well with the nurses in Hillingdon Hospital and the PCT staff – they understand and appreciate the job we do.
“We are able to offer a unique service to families. Our hours are not 9-5 – we will meet them and discuss their needs in the evening or weekend if that is the time which is convenient for them.
“At the end of the day, each placement must meet the needs of the client and their family, be affordable for the PCT and meet rigorous inspection standards.”
Carehome Selection’s unique understanding of the placements and packages needed for people with complex care needs enables the company to deliver huge savings for PCTs.
Sally Gooch, Consultant in Joint Commissioning and Continuing Care for Hillingdon PCT said:
“A lot of PCTs don’t have the internal capacity or history of employing people with the business and procurement skills for this kind of work.
The advantage of Carehome Selection is the service provides a way of safeguarding quality while also being focused on making major savings.
This is a very specialised area for individuals with very unique and complex needs.”
