SOCIAL CARE NEEDS A LONG TERM FUNDING SOLUTION

CE EN ER NF AIR CO CH

s Ahmed, who will be chairing the Residential & Nursing Care Theatre at Health+Care, says recruitment and retention of care workers are currently very much on the minds of the small and medium care providers she represents.

Ensuring care homes have a steady supply of staff as the UK withdraws from the EU is key to the viability of the sector, warns Nadra Ahmed, Chairman of the National Care Association.

Professor Martin Green, CEO, Care England

A stable workforce must be a key issue in Brexit talks warn care home providers A co-convenor for the Cavendish Coalition, an influential group of health and care organisations committed to ensuring standards of care are maintained as Britain prepares to withdraw from the EU, Ms Ahmed says they have been lobbying the Government on the issue. The group provided evidence to the House of Commons Health Committee on Brexit which has published a report calling for a streamlined process for recruiting health and care staff from overseas. The report makes clear that criteria should not just be about pay, but also about valuing public service and being able to recruit the staff social care needs to deliver safe, compassionate and high-quality care.

hey will have to decide whether or not it is going to be via general taxation, specific funding, or even by opening up the insurance market. One of the key problems with the current system is that it works in five year time frames when we need a strategy that works over decades,’ he argues.

The new government must develop a long-term sustainable solution for funding social care, says Professor Martin Green.

Professor Green, who will be outlining his thoughts on the future of social care at Health+Care, points out that in the last 20 years there have been numerous reports on social care from Lord Sutherland (Royal Commission on Long-Term Care of Older People), Derek Wanless (report on NHS funding), Andrew Dilnot (review into the funding for care and support in England) and Kate Barker (review of UK housing supply) – but the key questions remain and have not altered. We have had 20 years of shilly-shallying since then. We could have had 20 years where people knew what the position was and made provision for it. The question is will the politicians come up with the answers?’

COMMISSIONING BEST PRACTICE FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA

Organised by:

his is the view of Tim McLachlan, Operations Director Greater London for the Alzheimer’s Society, who will talk about what good commissioning looks like in a presentation to Health+Care. ‘He says the hallmarks of effective commissioning are: • Dementia advisers: People with dementia and their carers have to deal with on average 20 different health professionals. Dementia advisers can help people to navigate the complexities of the health and social care system. Research by the Alzheimer’s Society has demonstrated that every £1 invested in a dementia adviser realises £4 in value. • Support for self-management: Two thirds of people with dementia have a comorbidity and need support to selfmanage their condition – this can be provided by a local organisation, particular support services or a service

specifically available in the area where that person lives. • Community-based support: People with dementia need support to stay in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. If this is provided commissioners will spend less on hospital care or care in a residential setting. ‘It’s not about commissioning the same services everywhere but providing the services that are right for the local environment. The system must respond to local needs and therefore commissioners need to understand those needs,’ says Mr Lachlan. The main message Mr Lachlan says he hopes both commissioners and providers will take away from his talk is that a dementia adviser structure not only helps people with dementia but also saves money. He will explain the steps involved in commissioning dementia advisers and give some real life examples of areas where this system is working effectively. He will also talk about the effectiveness of basing dementia advisers in GP surgeries and the help that the Alzheimer’s Society can give for example through Dementia Connect, a comprehensive local services directory for people affected by dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Dementia is the biggest health and social care challenge facing the country so services must be commissioned effectively in order to make best use of tight resources.

so you can focus on caring for your patients. Here's one example. When hiring a new caregiver, the "business" of healthcare requires them to complete a lot of paperwork, be issued a computer, phone number, and email address, receive training, have credentials verified, attend orientation, have payroll setup, and a thousand other small tasks that take time and energy away from their core job of caring for people. With the GoodLooking app though, you simple click the "Hire" button and we handle those tasks for you. We ship your caregiver a tablet, we give them a phone number and email address, we have them complete their paperwork online, and we make sure they finish their

nfortunately once they join the industry, they quickly realize "helping people" is a very small part of the job. Paperwork is the job. Meetings, regulations, billings, coordination, more meetings - that's healthcare today. More often than not, nurses, caregivers and staff are all overwhelmed with the "business" of healthcare and have little extra energy left to actual help people. The business of healthcare has turned a beautiful industry into a stressed out, frustrated, confusing, and complicated mess. That's why The GoodLooking Company was created, to bring beauty back to healthcare. We build products that remove or automate those million little distractions

The vast majority of people I meet in this industry were first attracted to it because they wanted to help others. Nurses want to treat patients. Physicians want to cure illnesses. Caregivers want to take care of people in need. The ability to help people is the number one reason people become healthcare workers.

Tim McLachlan, Operations Director Great London, Alzheimer's Society ‘The main thing at the end of the day is that this is not about other people; this is about you and me and everybody in the room because we will all know or love somebody who is affected by dementia. Commissioning services effectively is about doing what is right for us and our families, both now and in the future,’ says Mr McLachlan.

HOW TO MANAGE DEMAND IN SOCIAL CARE 17 20

Councils must be prepared to think bigger, be bolder and do things differently in order to manage the market for social care, Fiona Richardson, Assistant Director, Institute of Public Care (IPC), Oxford Brookes University, will tell Health+Care delegates.

SP R KE

he will be giving a presentation on how local authorities can fulfil their duty under the Care Act 2014 to ensure that

there is a sufficient market to meet the needs of people with care and support needs. But many smaller care providers are either going out of business or choosing to

close and there are also fewer, larger providers, many of whom our focusing more on self-funder market and are relying less on local authorities to purchase their services. ‘We can't just carry on doing a little bit more of what we've already done because the numbers of older people are increasing and there is a risk of destabilisation in the market,’ she says. However there are options for local authorities to rethink how they operate in order to reduce demand.

These were set out in an IPC report published in March which highlights how taking a performance management approach can help Councils deliver outcomes and better manage demand in adult social care.

‘Councils are receptive to thinking differently because money is getting tighter and tighter. So most councils have already done the obvious things – tightened eligibility criteria for services, streamlined services and

The six steps for managing demand in social care cover: • Managing demand through the front door of the Council • Managing demand from acute hospitals • Effective short-term interventions for people in the community • Designing the care system for people with long term needs • Developing a workforce to manage demand • Governance and management arrangements to sustain improvements

reduced staff but still more savings need to be made and demand continues to increase. You can't just look at the market in isolation, you need to think about what else that you can do. ‘Turning

CARE INTELLIGENCE CareShield and MED e-care join forces empowering care providers to deliver consistent quality outcomes across the continuum of care.

ome of the biggest challenges faced by care providers today can be sourced back to the quality of data. Data relating to the resident or service user’s care, and data relating to staff competence in delivering and evidencing appropriate care. Other challenges are often linked to the

attraction, retention and engagement of staff. Carers and nursing staff need the confidence that their employer will invest in their own personal development, with efficient systems and processes in place which give them more time to provide direct care. CareShield, the leading provider of multiblended learning and disciplinary competency management services to the health and social care sector and MED ecare, the eMAR and care planning software solution provider, have joined forces to offer the complete Care Intelligence solution to care providers. Working in partnership, the solution combines service user and staff

intelligence, enabling the management team to re-educate, re-focus and re-engineer the way it runs the care facility. The combined clinical and operational intelligence provided by CareShield and MED e-care means that information is instantly accessible. This enables better decisions, helping the management team improve care delivery which has both financial and clinical

benefits, as well as reducing time and stress levels during regulatory inspections or commissioner visits. To find out how Care Intelligence can benefit your care facility, your staff and everyone in your care, call 0345 880 1818 or email marketing@careshield.co.uk to book an appointment or visit Stand B30 during the show.

CARE INTELLIGENCE INCLUDES: • Workforce management solutions • Blended eLearning and classroom learning • Staff competence assessment • Apprenticeship management • Clinical assessment • Point-of-care documentation

Professor Green says integration of health

‘We need to think about integration in terms of outcomes rather than organisations. The 21st-century system has got to be about integration which is invisible to the user. When I go on an aeroplane, the airport authority is one organisation, the air traffic control another and the company that provides my aircraft is another. What I experience is a flight from A to B. I'm neither interested nor bothered about what is going

on in the background. All I want is a good service and that's exactly how you need to frame both health and social care in the future,’ he says. Prevention must also be part of the solution: ‘This is very important for better outcomes for citizens and for making better use of money in the system. This agenda should be clear about which aspects of their health citizens should take responsibility for.’ Professor Green says the NHS has achieved some success with smoking cessation but now needs to focus on issues around sugar and alcohol and increasingly non-prescribed drugs.

‘Why, for example, is it that an older person who requires a hip replacement might be told by the CCG you can't have one because we have no money but the drug addict who collapses on the street is taken into a very expensive A&E department? What we need to have is a public debate about what things should be off limits and what things should be seen as being responsibility of the individual. ‘What I want to do at Health+Care is challenge the orthodoxy and produce a big debate so that we can find out what society’s views on these issues are. At the moment nobody is articulating it,’ he says.

providers can survive local authority tenders, help themselves to stay viable by standing up for their clients’ rights to a decent care package, how they can develop an outstanding care company and why some providers are exiting the market. Sessions on integrating health and social care and on personalising care for people with dementia in different care will provide much food for thought and debate. ‘This should be a very stimulating two days. Providers who come to the Home Care Theatre will be able to learn about the trends and the solutions to the current problems in the operating environment in which they work. I hope commissioners will also come along to hear about the issues that are influencing providers and to find out about new ways of commissioning services,’ says Mr Angel.

PASS CE EN ER NF AIR CO CH

‘Outcome based commissioning is the issue that commissioners currently need to know about because a lot of authorities are going to go down that route. I'm picking up a lot of interest from councils who are saying outcome based commissioning sounds sensible,’ he says. Outcome based commissioning provides support for a local population. Rather than buying half an hour of care to do tasks in, this model rewards both value for money and delivery of outcomes, such as reablement, that are important to individuals. ‘Continuing stresses in the state funded care market mean that commissioners need to be thinking about new ways of commissioning services. Understanding the

problem is the first step in coming up with solutions that will work otherwise we will just keep repeating the past. The biggest thing that commissioners need to resolve is how to get the payment by results element of commissioning right,’ says Mr Angel. Another session on tackling recruitment of care workers will be of interest to providers. Neil Eastward, founder of Sticky People, will be providing practical solutions that work on how to recruit and retain care workers. ‘Even if the money improves to the point of being sustainable, we are still going to struggle to recruit a sufficient workforce to cater for the demands of an ageing population with the added pressures of Brexit and a potential reduction in prospective recruits,’ says Mr Angel. Other sessions will discuss how

CARE HOME LIVE SUPPLIER HIGHLIGHT: FROM CHORE DOCUMENTATION TO VALUABLE COMMUNICATION Documentation and registrations take up a lot of resources in all care homes. Documenting every encounter with the residents usually just adds to an already busy day of work for the carers.

espite the original purpose of creating a better and more transparent level of care through documentation, it is a fact that the carers have never had lesser time to spend with their residents. The actual demands of what should be documented are as per legislation, so in Sekoia we spend less time debating what should be documented and more time making it easy to deliver outstanding care.

1. To prove the resident has received the right care The first purpose is in regards to evidencing for compliance inspections as well as the Local Authorities that residents, especially those that are infirm, have received the correct professional treatment and care. Here, documentation contributes to an improvement in quality; to safeguard the residents and make sure the level of care is consistent. Documentation systems are made to reflect the reality of the residents and cater to their needs. Hence, the actual purpose is to ensure that the level of care the resident receives is of great quality. In the best-case scenario, this is reflected in the actual documentation.

2. To be smarter tomorrow than we are today The second purpose is to create next practice and in that regards, how you document and report is important. It is necessary that carers can extract the required

information easily and without complications, so you can provide care that is standing on the foundation of former experiences from coworkers. Documentation contributes to creating an overview of each individual resident so it is easy to share and pass on the latest information about the resident and thereby provide the best care possible. good documentation is Why communication When you are actively using documentation in everyday work and it supports the main purposes of documenting, it will feel less like a chore to do so. If you can communicate effectively with your co-workers, it is possible to transform the demands for documentation from a time-consuming constraint to a valuable tool. By having information in a digitised format and by hand, the information becomes operational. When the carers have access to the latest information about the residents they can transfer this information to the people who need it – this includes bank/agency staff working in the home or anyone from the multidisciplinary team. When we reach this point, care planning utilises the demands of documentation proactively to create better care instead of added pressure from increased workloads. Thereby shifting the focus back on to what is most important: The residents.

IS ANYONE TAKING CARE OF YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS? You provide a service of undeniable value – ensuring that some of the most vulnerable members of our society can continue to enjoy a quality of life with love and dignity. But when it comes to your financial affairs – both professionally and personally – do you have that trusted somebody looking out for your best interests?

ndoubtedly, working in the care profession can be an immensely rewarding and gratifying vocation. But like any business owner passionate about quality of the service or product they provide, there is often a fine line to be trod between offering exceptional value for money whilst maintaining a viable and profitable business model. And never has this been more astutely felt than in the care industry. With the everincreasing mountain of regulatory obligations imposed by the Care Act, coupled with growing financial pressures inflicted by the new National Living Wage and shortfalls in council funding, many care home owners could be forgiven for feeling that the very lifeblood is being squeezed out of their industry. But opportunities do exist. The post-war baby boomers – those commonly categorised as being born between 1946 and 1964 – are now the sexagenarians and septuagenarians of our generation; and the number of people aged 65 and over is predicted to rise by over 275,000 each year between now and 2037, according to think-tank, International Longevity Centre, UK (October 2014). So how are you positioning your business to capitalise on the impending tsunami of care need in the coming years? Or are you so absorbed in the day-to-day operations of your business that you can’t see the wood for the trees? Of course, future planning will very much be dictated by the current life-stage of your

business. Whether you are newly-established, looking to grow and expand your operation, comfortably mature and established, or looking to wind down and sell the business, your objectives and aspirations – both professionally and personally - will be markedly different. • What financing arrangements will be needed to make my corporate cash work harder and to fund future expansion? • Will my employee benefit packages ensure I can attract and retain the best people who are so critical to my success? • How will I establish an effective exit strategy that protects my business and ensures a smooth succession? • What does financial security look like for me? • How will I structure a tax-efficient remuneration and profit extraction strategy? So, how do you even start to understand the questions you need to be asking yourself, let alone know the answers? At St. James’s Place, we understand that the demands of modern life mean time is precious for everyone – and none more so than for business owners. Your success has undoubtedly grown out of being focussed, disciplined and working incredibly hard, but has this been to the detriment of your own financial affairs, or your longer-term vision and aspirations for your family? And, just as your business has flourished because you are an expert at what you do, likewise, St. James’s Place has been successful

because we are expert at what we do – helping individuals and business owners understand their objectives and realise their goals. But we believe that, to truly develop the best possible outcomes for clients, partnership and collaboration are key to success.

rights to a decent care package. They need to do this because if the local authority savages the value of the care package, what they are also savaging is the fee to the provider.

and Dispute Resolution. Providers who become members will receive training in adult social care law by webinar and an annual allowance of legal advice. The charity will enable health and social care clients to make a coherent threat of legal action about their clients’ care packages without their clients having to obtain Legal Aid. The charity will also help individuals to put their situations on CrowdJustice, a litigation crowdfunding website. Currently funds of only around £12- 15,000 are needed for permission to apply for a judicial review. So as people pledge their money and the amount visibly tots up, Ms Schwehr predicts local authorities will be persuaded to back down rather than fight a serious claim. ‘My vision for the charity I am launching is that it will galvanise the provider sector into becoming legally literate about their client's legal

rather than more, so providers need to be switched on to fighting for the money for their clients’ needs so that they can carry on operating. It is a legitimate role for a provider to stand up for the public law rights of their clients. ‘My long-term aim is to preserve some legal principles in adults’ social care and to help around 500 people a year.’

paid for but not their social care. So we are creating these imbalances in the system. Then we wonder why we are in such a mess – we have got the demographics that clearly indicate the need for more social care, not less, yet the provider sector is often not part of the decision-making teams or involved in discussion or debate about how things can get be improved. ‘The person who loses out in all of this is the person who receives the service,’ says Ms Ahmed.

GOOD NUTRITION AND HYDRATION: FUNDAMENTAL TO QUALITY CARE

CATERING & NUTRITIONAL THEATRE DELIVERED BY:

he importance of food and drink in delivering excellent care cannot be overestimated. From the benefits of good nutrition and hydration through to the cultural and communal significance, an enjoyable mealtime experience makes a huge difference to a person’s physical and emotional health and wellbeing, and their quality of life. The National Association of Care Catering (NACC) represents care caterers across the UK and believes that every service user has a right to receive good food and drink that reflects their individual nutritional, cultural, physical and emotional needs. The NACC supports the care sector with information, guidance and a platform to share best practice and ideas to help ensure that mealtimes are a vital and meaningful part of any care service – whether in a care home or in the community through Meals on Wheels or Lunch Clubs. Providing resources to help care providers and caterers understand the specific needs of the elderly and vulnerable and meet the standards set by bodies such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is a crucial role played by the NACC. Support available ranges from appropriate catering for specific dietary requirements – such as catering for people with dementia or dysphagia, fortified meals and food allergies and intolerances – through to providing information and tools to ensure recommended standards are reached.

NEW CATERING & NUTRITIONAL THEATRE

The most recent addition to the NACC's catalogue of guidance documents is How to provide good nutritional care and comply with CQC’s fundamental standards. Focusing on the absolute importance of good nutrition and hydration as a central part of quality care, the document provides advice and information that will enable regulated residential and social care providers to give excellent nutritional care and meet the CQC’s Fundamental Standards, concentrating on the Key Line of Enquiry (KLOE), ‘How are people supported to drink and eat enough and maintain a balanced diet?’ Each outcome pertaining to this KLOE with relevance to each regulated service is covered and the document details suggested recommended evidence in the form of records, observations and statements that an inspector would be looking for during an inspection. Other linked KLOEs are also highlighted, and template checklists and recording documents included. Using the guidance, care providers and caterers will be supported in understanding and driving forward improvements in nutritional care to help them achieve good or outstanding CQC ratings for their service and service users. It also provides a practical resource for care services that are not covered by England’s regulatory framework.

The NACC will be hosting a meet and greet breakfast on 29 June at 08:30-09:30 at the Catering & Nutrition theatre. Secure your complimentary pass to attend Health+Care where you can access 18 theatres including the Catering & Nutrition theatre online: www.healthpluscare.co.uk/carenews

A new book packed with tips on how to recruit high quality care staff will be launched at Health+Care by social care workforce expert and entrepreneur, Neil Eastwood.

Founder of recruitment consultancy Sticky People, Mr Eastwood says he has written the book because he has so much information from the research he has done that he is never able to cover it in the presentations or training sessions he gives on a regular basis. ‘I have produced this book for altruistic reasons. We have thousands of social care providers in the UK all trying to solve the same recruitment problems and I felt this was an opportunity to share the evidence of what works in what I hope is a very readable and compelling way. My objective is to help providers improve their recruitment and retention processes.’

Neil Eastwood valued in the organisation so that they stay long term. ‘The book offers simple tips that will most in most cases cost nothing to implement but will ensure a care provider can maximise the effectiveness of their recruitment and retention processes,’ says Mr Eastwood.

Mr Eastwood will be giving a presentation called ‘Transform how you recruit and retain care workers: in just 25 minutes’ after which he will be signing copies of his book which will be available to buy from his stand throughout the two days of the Show.
