Long Term Care Services for Older People Sample Clauses

Long Term Care Services for Older People. The Government and social partners agree to work together to develop an infrastructure of long term care services for older people, responding to the demographic trends facing the country, and that the following principles should inform the development of policy in this area: • All relevant public services should be designed and delivered in an integrated manner around the needs of the care recipient based on a national standardised needs assessment. Care needs assessments should be available in a timely, consistent, equitable and regionally balanced basis. • Access to joined-up, user-friendly, customer-focused service consistent with individual needs. • The use of community and home-based care should be maximised and should support the important role of family and informal care. • The continued development of sheltered housing options, with varying degrees of care support will be encouraged. • Where community and home-based care is not appropriate, quality residential care should be available. • There should be appropriate and equitable levels of co-payment by care recipients based on a national standardised financial assessment. • The level of state support for residential care should be indifferent as to whether that care is in a public or private facility. • No current resident of a nursing home, public or private, should be put at a disadvantage by whatever new co-payment arrangements for residential care are introduced. • Information about entitlements and benefits should be clearly set out and communicated to older people. • The financial model to support any new arrangements must be financially sustainable. Further data collection and evaluation is required on different options and may be a combination of different options including co-payments, additional sources of funding beyond existing taxation sources, a social insurance type arrangement and/or a pre-funding mechanism. The Government and social partners parties agree that the following early steps will be taken to progress this work within the next two years: • Additional resources of €150 million in a full year (€110 million in 2006 and €40 million more in 2007) are being allocated to Services for Older People and Palliative Care. Reflecting the new emphasis on home and day care, almost three quarters (€109 million) of the €150 million is being committed to community care supports. • The HSE will develop a national standardised care needs assessment which will be completed by the end of 2006...
