About adult social care
Providing Adult Social Care to our local residents is the responsibility of the Local Authority, which interacts with a range of other local authority functions to support people in our communities, including Housing, Public Health, Children’s Services, or Culture and Leisure to name but a view. Our work is also closely connected to health organisations and the voluntary and third sector who work with many of the same people who come into contact with Adult Social Care.
Adult Social Care in Coventry is one of several health and care organisations across Coventry and Warwickshire, making up the Coventry and Warwickshire Health and Care Partnership. This Partnership is working to improve the health and wellbeing of our residents. In all our efforts to achieve this, we share a common vision: ‘We will do everything in our power to enable people across Coventry and Warwickshire to pursue happy, healthy lives and put people at the heart of everything we do’.
From an Adult Social Care perspective, we do not have a complex strategy but at every level, we intend to provide support to the residents of Coventry, in the least intrusive manner possible, based on the assets, resources and abilities available to them. Our focus is on the promotion of independence, and this continues to be at the heart of the way we work and provide support.
Our Coventry Offer explains in brief what people can expect from Coventry City Council’s Adult Social Care and Support Services. It outlines the wider health and care services’ vision and principles – in other words, what we are aiming to achieve, and then translates these into our approach to supporting people who come to Adult Social Care seeking support. This includes for their carers too.
Our Annual Report describes what has gone well and provides an opportunity for reflection on the progress we have made and the challenges we face in delivering Adult Social Care within the city.
