A dementia ward in Grantham may be closed for up to 12 months as part of a home care pilot scheme
A dementia ward in Grantham may be closed for up to 12 months as part of a pilot scheme to advance the Trust's home care services.
During this closure, the Trust piloted a Dementia Home Treatment Team that proved successful in minimising hospital admissions. A report before Lincolnshire County Council reads: "The team provide intensive assessment and home support for a set period of time to provide safe care during a period of escalating needs.
"This 'hospital at home' approach allows the Trust to maintain sufficient inpatient capacity for anyone who needs admission despite the reduced bed numbers and causes no additional delay in people being able to access community support.
