In April 2022 A decision (OKD03 22/23) was taken to award a block contract for 11 dementia nursing beds at Aster Grove in Littlehampton, to meet increasing demand for suitable dementia nursing care and accommodation at a sustainable rate.
The contract is currently being reviewed with proposals being developed for new contractual agreements which will enable the achievement of the Council’s strategic aim to support people to live safe and fulfilled lives, as part of the ambitions set out in the Adult Social Care Strategy 2022 - 2025 . Analysis and planning will consider the need for residential services providing nursing dementia care within the southern part of West Sussex and potentially to other geographical areas.
Following the completion of the review, the Director of Adults and Health will be asked to approve the new contractual agreement to source residential based dementia nursing care.
