Trafford Council Adult Care 'Requires Improvement'
12 Aug
Summary
- Adult social care provision requires improvement.
- Delays in equipment access and home adaptations noted.
- Occupational therapy assessments face significant waiting times.
A report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has determined that Trafford Council's adult social care provision "requires improvement." The watchdog identified specific shortcomings that negatively impact resident independence.
Concerns were raised regarding the timely access to necessary equipment and minor home adaptations for individuals. Furthermore, the CQC noted significant delays in occupational therapy assessments for residents.
Despite these areas needing enhancement, the council acknowledges the findings and is committed to further progress. Leaders are aware of issues, such as the confusing transition process for young people moving to adult services, and are actively implementing solutions, including a dedicated transitions team.
