Adult social care transformation
This programme aims to ensure we continue to promote wellbeing, prevention, independence, and self-care for people across Cheshire East. It will achieve this by helping residents to stay independent and avoid needing extra care.
The programme will improve services like Learning Disability, Supported Living, Residential care, and Shared Lives. It will use technology to support changes to the way we work and ensure we’re cost effective in how we deliver our services. We will work with our partners to make sure the care they provide is effective and supports independent living with choice and control whilst balancing cost and efficiency.
Adult social care transformation programme savings (£22.45m total)
Adult services account for the largest share of savings through two projects:
- Prevent, Reduce, Enable – Older People (£17.35m)
This delivery‑stage programme focuses on reducing reliance on long‑term care through prevention, reablement, and enabling independence. Savings peak in 2027/28–2028/29 before tapering as the new model embeds.
- Learning Disability Service Transformation (£5.1m)
Early savings are achieved through redesigning support pathways and maximising independence, with benefits realised mainly in the first two years.
These projects support both financial sustainability and improved lived experience for people using services.
