Currently there are many patients across Devon receiving treatment related to conditions brought on by or exacerbated by self-neglect. This NHS collaborative project, funded by Torbay and South Devon Health Trust seeks to coordinate support from a range of partners to best facilitate the recovery of those experiencing self-neglect and hoarding. This will reduce the number of hospital admissions to urgent and emergency care services and lessen serious complications arising from self-neglect and hoarding.
This complex issue is notoriously difficult to overcome due to the interplay of symptoms and causes. The project brings together existing support from providers such as Health, Social Services, Fire and Rescue, Community Safety Partnership, District Councils and the Community and Voluntary Sector, developing pathways to recovery tailored to the individual.
In addition to this, the project will develop services to fill gaps in provision; it will promote best practice to support the widest possible client base, and it will establish a preventative strategy to identify and implement pre-emptive support for those at risk.
