Intensive care and support service: Bridgemeadow, Ellesmere Port

The Council along with our local strategic partners (West Cheshire and Vale Royal CCG's) remain committed toseeing a substantial shift away from the reliance on inpatient care. Subsequently we are commissioning a local intensive community support resource (Bridgemeadow) to assist with reintegrating small numbers of peopleback into the community (from hospital)and/or preventing people already in the community from unnecessarily escalating into acute/secondary services. Bridgemeadow will effectively operate as a "step up/step down"service.
