Working with adults
Since 2017, we’ve brought together health and social care teams for adults under Bexley Care. That means, together we can get to know each person, their strengths and their needs, take an integrated approach to support and be flexible with budgets to design care around them, ensuring our residents enjoy the best quality of life.
We believe:
- we should empower adults to live independently, building on what they can do for themselves
- it’s crucial to get in early and prevent problems when we can
- we can do more, better when we collaborate with partners across health and social care
- we should offer choice so adults and family carers can make their own decisions
- we do our best work when we consult with people, carers, GPs, other NHS professionals and third sector organisations
