Adult care and support

Cordis Bright provides research and consultancy services across the full spectrum of adult care and support, community healthcare and supported living services.

Our team has many years of experience in both the statutory and independent sectors, and come from a wide range of academic disciplines and practice backgrounds including health and social care.

Our consultancy and research methodologies have been developed specifically for the social care sector. In addition, we have an absolute commitment to delivering work which is grounded in experience and reality, providing advice which our clients can implement in practice, and supporting the implementation of the principles in Putting People First.

At the centre of our work is helping clients meet increasing demand for services within tightening fiscal constraints. We have a particular expertise around designing and implementing effective early intervention and prevention initiatives that improve outcomes and achieve cashable savings.

We work with strategic planners, commissioners and providers of services to:

• Transform service and management structures, job roles and ways of working
• Intervene early and invest in prevention to avoid increasing demand for more expensive services
• Break down barriers between organisations to produce efficient and seamless services
• Design person-centred care pathways across statutory and organisational boundaries
• Turn-around and transform failing services
• Strengthen commissioning practice to focus on outcomes as well as achieve savings
• Prepare for, and respond to, formal inspection processes
• Have a more accurate and detailed understanding of local needs and underlying inequalities
• Empower adults and especially "hard to reach" groups in the planning, commissioning and delivery of services
• Increase public access to information and advice about care and support services
• Ensure that adults in receipt of services, especially in the roll out of personal budgets, are safeguarded

We work across all client groups including mental health, homelessness, learning disability, physical disability, domestic violence, alcohol and drugs and older people. We have a proven commitment to improving the statutory and voluntary sector services that improve the quality of people's lives.
