To consider a report of the Head of Provider Transformation seeking approval for the refurbishment of Council owned residential homes for older people and people with learning disability.
Due to the age of the Council owned residential homes and the limited availability of capital, and despite structural work still planned, the homes are now identified as not meeting the standards with respect to decor, furnishings and fittings to comply with the National Government’s newly outlined intention that Councils purchase only residential care that is graded as ‘excellent’. It is therefore recommended that a programme of work is undertaken to refresh the decoration, furnishing and fittings of the five homes and that a plan is enabled to support ongoing decoration as regular activity.
