Issue details

AHWB 0312019 - In house Day Services - 1) Stainforth Smile Changing Area and 2) Eden Lodge 24/7 short break fire escape

To create a changing area in Stainforth Youth and SMILE building for people who have personal care needs living in Stainforth and surrounding areas:-

Stainforth and surrounding areas do not have facilities to provide specialist care needs. A changing area with equipment would support people with complex needs in the East area to access facilities in their local community.

Estimated cost of £40k to install a fire escape in order to be compliant with fire and safety regulations at Eden Lodge in order for Doncaster people who have a Learning Disability and/or physical disabilities to attend 24/7 short stay service at the provision:-

Eden Lodge
A lift has been agreed to be installed supporting the 24/7 short stay service to meet the needs of people who have learning/physical disabilities. Fire regulations are insisting a fire escape is installed to ensure the delivery of safe services. Presently there are 144 Doncaster people accessing the 24/7 short stay services. People’s support needs are increasing, requiring facilities for people with a learning/physical disability to stay so their families can have a break. There are limited options in Doncaster, resulting in people having to seek out services out of the area, which are often more expensive.
