Description
The North Yorkshire health and social care teams commission an Integrated Community Equipment Service (ICES) to maximise reablement and rehabilitation pathways as an alternative to secondary care and to maintain independence following a hospital stay, thus avoiding unnecessary admissions and delayed discharges. High quality care equipment, aids and adaptation services are a vital component to the independence of people of all ages with health conditions, disabilities and/or mobility issues. Care equipment services provide the gateway to the independence, dignity, and self-esteem of not only the service users but their families and carers too. A contract has been awarded for 12 months from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with the option to extend for 6 months (to 30th September 2026) and a further 6 months (to 31st March 2027).
