Out of Borough Residential Placement

The client currently resides at a residential home in Oldham, this was intended to be a temporary placement found following the client being unable to continue to live with their sister due to carer breakdown following physical incidents. Due to presenting behaviours impacting on other residents in the home, the provider is unable to meet the clients needs there and have unfortunately had to serve notice on the placement. The notice period expired 29/09/2025. Further residential placements have been explored in borough, however all homes explored within Oldham cannot accept the client due to his behaviours or having no vacancies. The Oldham process for supported living vacancies has been explored however there are currently no suitable vacancies available. The residential home that has been identified for the client was found through conversations with their existing provider as they manage another residential home within the Rochdale area that could meet their needs on a permanent basis under the urgent circumstances with understanding of his current presenting behaviours. This alternative placement was sourced by the Social Worker outside of the GM Provider framework approach, as it was needed urgently to prevent further escalation of behaviours and to reduce risk to other residents, with consideration to distance from Oldham. The out of borough check has been completed and has not raised any concerns.
