The Domiciliary Care Rapid Discharge Service (RDS), known as the RDS through this document, is a short-term reablement and domiciliary service offering timely discharge of individuals who may have an eligible Care Act need.
These individuals may need support with discharge from a Hospital setting to their own home or may require support to prevent the need for a hospital admission, thereby supporting flow and effective management within the wider system.
The service may be used whilst a long-term package of care is being sourced via brokerage, to bridge a package of care until the existing provider has capacity to restart the package following a hospital admission, to provide an assessment period to enable a full Care Act assessment or to prevent a hospital admission.
All individuals discharged into this service will be followed up by a member of Hampshire County Council's Reablement or Social care team.
Individuals discharged into this service may be Covid-19 positive and there is an expectation that the service provider will accept these individuals into this service.
