Our Vision
Our Vision is to enable every resident with care and support needs to live their best lives, with the people they value, close to home and with access to the right support at the right time
Adult social care will achieve this vision by ensuring all residents have:
- Access to the right information, at the right time, to help them make informed choices about their care and support needs.
- Access to support and services tailored to them, which are focused on the persons strengths, abilities and aspirations.
- Access to local communities and are enabled to maintain relationships which are the most important to them.
- Access to the right services, at the right time, which enables them to live healthier lives for longer and maximises their independence
Summary of our Adult Social Care Strategy
This strategy sets out our vision for how we intend to make a real difference to the lives of local residents. We have designed the strategy through consultation with people who have care and support needs, unpaid carers, wider residents and partners.
The strategy focuses on ensuring people are safe, healthy and can live well, within their local communities. It outlines our vision, values and priorities for the next three years with an emphasis on strength-based approaches, enabling people to remain at home for as long as possible and ensuring people with care and support needs are empowered during their adult social care journey.
This strategy has also been designed to complement wider strategic plans for Rotherham including our Health and Wellbeing Strategy, Rotherham Health and Care Plan, our Learning Disability, Autism and Borough that Cares Strategies, as well as national and regional policy approaches. Ultimately, our strategy focuses on enabling people to live their best lives and to reach their full potential.
