Essex County Council took the decision to change the way Falls Prevention services are delivered across Essex. The decision has meant a shift to a less formal Falls Prevention programme, better integrated with a greater involvement of the voluntary sector and communities.
As a result of this change, Anglian Community Enterprise (ACE) will no longer be commissioned to provide falls services for North East Essex patients, and will cease taking referrals for the falls service as of 1st May 2018. ACE will continue to manage those patients already in their system until the end of June 2018.
For the North East Essex (NEE) locality, where a patient is identified as having falls risk factors requiring support within their home setting, they should be referred via Provide’s care navigation single point of access which will stream the person to either community agents or the reablement service, which will undertake a holistic assessment within the patient’s home environment.
Following the assessment a support plan will be developed and agreed in partnership with the patient, and where appropriate, their Carers.
To refer as of 1st May 2018 please contact Provide on:
