Living Better Lives Strategy
Living Better Lives is the five-year strategy for adult social care and commissioning in South Tyneside. It has been developed and co-produced with local partners, people working in social care, and people who draw on care and support.
We all want people in South Tyneside to live in the place they call home with people and things that they love, in communities where people look out for one another, doing things that matter to them
Our Vision:
- We want everyone in South Tyneside who needs help from Adult Social Care to lead the lives they want
- We want everyone to be safe and as healthy as they can be
- We want to look at what people can do for themselves to help themselves
- We want communities to support each other and look out for each other
What we want to see happen:
- people get the help and support, when and where they need it
- people to make choices about what care and support they want
- people to have good quality care and support
- people to meet each other and do things in their local communities
- people to be included in decisions about their care and have their voices heard
Adult Social Care Strategy: Living Better Lives
We believe that people should be given the best opportunity possible to lead healthy and independent lives, but we will only achieve this by changing the way we work, focusing on outcomes; what people want to achieve, how they want to live and working with our neighbourhoods and communities differently.
With people, families and communities at the very heart of what we do, we are committed to supporting our residents with the right level of support when they need it
