Coming home: Complex care needs and out-of-area placements

Description

This report focuses on people with learning disabilities and complex needs who are currently placed far from home. This might be in a hospital (exacerbated when someone's discharge is delayed) or in a care home. Returning people to their home area is a complex issue involving interrelated processes, agencies, and services, all of which must work together for better outcomes for individuals. This report outlines the transformational change needed to address this issue. It also considers how an adult's behaviour, particularly the type of behaviour that challenges traditional service response, can impact the process.
