Our aim is to:

• Reduce hospital admissions
• Reduce long term admissions to care or nursing homes
• Support faster discharge from hospital
• Maximise people’s independence by helping them to remain in their own homes, supported in their own communities.

• People who need a short-term health and social care rehabilitation intervention
• People at risk of hospital admission who can be safely supported and managed in their own home or care/nursing home.

• Placing the person at the centre of support planning activity
• Promoting wellbeing and independence and enabling self-care – by focusing on the person’s strengths, goals and what matters to them
• Multidisciplinary working by health and social care professionals.
• Integrated working can reduce barriers and duplication and focus on what’s most important to the person we are helping.
• MCR also plays a big part in helping to relieve the pressure on our hospitals and primary care system, by providing a quick and timely response to cases that may have previously ended up going to hospital, unnecessarily.
