The ‘Hospital to Healthier Homes’ winter pilot scheme, delivered by Care \& Repair, ran from ten hospitals across Wales over the winter period. The scheme aimed to support vulnerable older people to be safely discharged from hospitals to their homes, with a focus on preventing re\-admissions by assessing the ‘health’ of people’s homes – and enabling improvements to be made to support their health and wellbeing.


The scheme, a Welsh Government and National Programme for Unscheduled Care collaborative project, was originally funded as part of £4m allocated to support health services over the winter period by testing new models of care. 


It comprises of a dedicated case worker based at each site to facilitate practical adaptations to a patient’s home and enable discharge from a hospital bed. The case workers can also offer practical support and advice on issues such as access to financial support older people need to age well and making homes warmer, as well as referring patients at risk of isolation or loneliness into local community clubs or groups. 


The pilot received over 600 referrals between mid January and the end of March, providing 628 home improvements and facilitated 320 means tested benefit assessments. 


Following the emerging success of the scheme, the Minister for Health and Social Services, Vaughan Gething has approved the extension for a further 6 months until September 2019, with a £170,000 fund being allocated to participating Local Health Boards. 


In addition, the Minister for Housing and Local Government, Julie James, has approved another £200,000 of capital funding to support the extension. 


Mr Gething said:



> “I am delighted to be able to announce the extension of the scheme. The service has shown to have an immediate and positive impact on patients, relatives and staff, and I continue to be encouraged to hear about the number of people benefitting. 
> 
> 
> Supporting older people to be quickly discharged and made comfortable safely in their own homes, allowing them to live as independently as possible is of benefit to all individuals and services involved.
> 
> 
> A real benefit of the scheme has been the opportunity for case workers to ‘make every contact count’. They have used their time with people in their homes to talk about issues like warm home measures, falls prevention or connection with local community groups to help support wellbeing.
> 
> 
> The scheme directly complements our ‘A Healthier Wales’ vision for creating seamless models of care and highlights the importance of collaborative, cross sector working.  
> 
> 
> The extension will also support a more robust evaluation of its impact, giving us further feedback and lessons learned and enable sustainability."


Julie James said:



> “I am very pleased to provide further capital spending to fund the extension of the ‘Hospital to Healthier Homes’ pilot scheme.    
> 
> Housing adaptations help people to maintain their independence, and providing even small adaptations can help people leaving hospital, get them back home and help reduce delays in discharging patients. 
> 
> 
> This can then relieve pressure on emergency departments, alleviating pressure on the NHS while also helping people to live for longer in their own homes.”

Cynhaliwyd cynllun peilot y gaeaf Adre o'r Ysbyty, a ddarparwyd gan Gofal a Thrwsio, mewn deg o ysbytai yng Nghymru dros y gaeaf. Nod y cynllun oedd helpu pobl hŷn agored i niwed i gael eu rhyddhau yn ddiogel o'r ysbytai i'w cartrefi, gan ganolbwyntio ar eu hatal rhag gorfod mynd yn ôl i'r ysbyty drwy asesu 'iechyd' eu cartrefi \- a galluogi gwneud gwelliannau i gefnogi eu hiechyd a'u llesiant.


Cafodd y cynllun, sy'n brosiect ar y cyd rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a'r Rhaglen Genedlaethol ar gyfer Gofal Heb ei Drefnu, ei ariannu yn wreiddiol fel rhan o £4m a ddyrannwyd i gefnogi gwasanaethau iechyd dros gyfnod y gaeaf drwy brofi modelau gofal newydd.


Mae'n cynnwys gweithiwr achos penodedig ym mhob safle i hwyluso gwneud addasiadau ymarferol i gartref y claf a galluogi ei ryddhau o wely yn yr ysbyty. Gall y gweithwyr achos hefyd gynnig cymorth a chyngor ymarferol ar faterion fel mynediad i'r cymorth ariannol sydd ei angen ar bobl hŷn i heneiddio yn dda a chynhesu eu cartrefi, yn ogystal ag atgyfeirio cleifion sydd mewn perygl o fod yn ynysig neu'n unig i glybiau neu grwpiau cymunedol lleol. 


Cafodd y cynllun peilot dros 600 o atgyfeiriadau rhwng canol mis Ionawr a diwedd mis Mawrth, gan wneud 628 o welliannau i gartrefi a hwyluso 320 o asesiadau budd\-dal sy'n dibynnu ar brawf modd. 


Yn dilyn llwyddiant y cynllun, mae'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Vaughan Gething wedi cymeradwyo estyniad iddo am 6 mis arall tan fis Medi 2019, gyda chronfa o £170,000 yn cael ei neilltuo i Fyrddau Iechyd Lleol sy'n cymryd rhan. 


Hefyd, mae'r Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, Julie James, wedi cymeradwyo £200,000 arall o gyllid cyfalaf i gefnogi'r estyniad. 


Dywedodd Mr Gething:



> "Rwy'n falch o fedru cyhoeddi estyniad i’r cynllun. Cafodd y gwasanaeth effaith gadarnhaol yn syth ar gleifion, perthnasau a staff, ac mae'n parhau i fod yn galonogol i mi glywed bod cynifer o bobl wedi manteisio o'r cynllun.

> Mae cefnogi pobl hŷn i gael eu rhyddhau yn gyflym a'u gwneud yn gyfforddus ac yn ddiogel yn eu cartrefi eu hunain, gan eu galluogi i fyw mor annibynnol â phosibl o fudd i bob unigolyn a gwasanaeth dan sylw.
> 
> 
> Mantais wirioneddol o'r cynllun yw’r cyfle i weithwyr achos 'wneud i bob cyswllt gyfrif'. Maent wedi defnyddio eu hamser gyda phobl yn eu cartrefi i siarad am faterion fel cynlluniau i gynhesu cartrefi, atal codymau, neu gysylltu â grwpiau cymunedol lleol i helpu i gefnogi llesiant.

> Mae'r cynllun yn cyfrannu yn uniongyrchol at ein gweledigaeth 'Cymru Iachach' ar gyfer creu modelau gofal di\-dor ac mae'n tynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd cydweithio ar draws sectorau.

> Bydd yr estyniad hefyd yn cefnogi gwerthusiad mwy cadarn o'i effaith, gan roi adborth pellach i ni, rhoi gwybod am wersi a ddysgwyd a galluogi cynaliadwyedd."


Dywedodd Julie James:



> “Mae'n bleser gennyf ddarparu gwariant cyfalaf pellach i ariannu estyniad i'r cynllun peilot Adre o'r Ysbyty.    
> 
> Mae addasiadau tai yn helpu pobl i gadw eu hannibyniaeth, a gall hyd yn oed addasiadau bach helpu pobl i adael yr ysbyty a mynd adref, a lleihau'r oedi wrth ryddhau cleifion. 
> 
> 
> Gall hyn leihau'r pwysau ar adrannau argyfwng, lleihau'r pwysau ar y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol (y GIG) a helpu pobl i fyw yn eu cartrefi eu hunain am gyfnodau hirach."
