The Approved Provider List (APL) 1 - Care at Home (Domiciliary Care) "Service" will be delivered in the main in the customer's own home (including community based settings such as Independent Living Communities), but also in the community where it is appropriate to enable the Customer to achieve their agreed outcomes.
The "Service" is available to all adults aged 18 years and over who live within the City of York Council boundaries and have been referred to the "Service" by Adult Social Care (ASC).
The procurement of the services is via a DPS for a new Approved Provider List (APL) 1 - Care at Home (Domiciliary Care) "Service" and the DPS will be reviewed periodically.
