A new Frailty Pathway animation highlights our commitment to provide the right care, in the right place for older people.
The demand for health and social care services is ever increasing and ACHSCP has taken unique steps to tackle it head on with partners across Grampian.
People, especially older populations, remain fitter and healthier the longer they remain at home when safe and appropriate to do so. Outcomes for many people following even a short stay in hospital can be negatively impacted.
It makes sense that we try to provide more services in people’s homes and communities, when safe and appropriate to do so, which is what people tell us they would prefer to a hospital admission.
Over the past two years, we have been working hard to deliver improvements to our services which provide care for people living with Frailty. This involved major changes to how we deliver our services. In redesigning our Frailty Pathway, we moved staff and resources from the hospital to our community teams (Hospital at Home; Rosewell House; and our community teams), to provide more care for older people closer to their homes and in their homes.
