Adult social care services delivered to more than 800 residents in Salford are set to return to be delivered in-house by the city council.
The services have been delivered by community interest company Aspire for Intelligent Care and Support since 2015, with around 350 staff providing 744,000 hours of care a year for adults with care needs including learning disabilities, dementia and care for older people.
The decision, made by Salford City Council’s cabinet on Tuesday (22 April), will include a 10-month transition period until 31 March 2026 to enable the changes to be planned and delivered in consultation with staff involved and in partnership with Aspire to ensure that continuity of services remain in place for people receiving support and their families.
The decision follows on from a pledge in the council’s Corporate Plan 2024-2028 and values the people who work in adult social care while protecting services that support people in living independent and fulfilled lives in Salford.
