Feedback updated 1 Jul 2019
We asked
We asked for feedback on how well the respite services for adults with a disability are working in Warwickshire.
We needed this feedback to help us decide the best way to deliver these services in the future to make sure they meet the needs of everyone who uses them and their families.
You said
28 responses were received for the Ask Warwickshire Online Survey.
29 responses were received for a paper customer survey.
Key themes:
- 88% were happy overall with their respite service
- 57% agreed that their respite service had improved during the past 5 years
- Help with transport costs was stated as a key issue in being able to access respite services for families
Availability of emergency respite was recognised as an issue.
We did
As a result of the engagement recommendations have been made to improve the service offer in future. This includes the provision of emergency respite beds to be available at short notice.
The current contracts for respite have now been extended up until April 2021 to allow more time to re-design the services and establish greater integration with health services.
