ITT for the Provision of Extra Care Services at Mora Burnet House (MBH)

The scheme offers an alternative to residential care for older people by supporting older vulnerable people to live in their own tenancies in a dedicated building so they can retain and develop their independent living skills and be linked into appropriate services. The importance of tenants’ opportunities to contribute to the life of the scheme and all associated decisions will be central to the ethos for the service. The scheme also provides high-quality care and support to vulnerable older people with multiple needs, including varying degrees of physical frailty, learning disabilities and mental health needs including dementia. It is anticipated that the number of tenants with dementia accessing the service will increase over time. The scheme will provide care for people from Camden’s wide range of communities. The service will be accessible, appropriate and welcoming for people of different religions and cultural backgrounds and will be proactive in developing a service that recognises and values diversity. The overarching philosophy will be to provide a home for life environment.
