NHS Devon is seeking to procure a managed Pathway 1 home-based intermediate care support service for Plymouth - to fully manage provision to support circa 60-80 individuals at any one time on our Intermediate Care pathway in the community following a period of acute/medical intervention.

The service focusses on personal care and rehab and reablement interventions, which will be provided to the person to help them rehabilitate, re-able and recover as much as possible from the event that led to their acute inpatient/virtual ward stay (or to prevent a hospital admission) and maximise their independence, delivered in their own home. The optimum average length of stay on the service will be 17 days.
