Care Portal website for London Borough of Bexley
14/06/2009
Cornish WebServices are working with the Inspire Community Trust to provide a care portal website in partnership with the London Borough of Bexley
Shop4careBexley is an independent, free service providing information and advice about care and housing in later life. This is a local based website catering specifically for the Bexley area of Kent.
The website aim is “to expand the options and choices you might consider, and provide enough information about them to help you decide what is right for you”
The Shop4care service will be available via the website and also through a telephone Advice Line and by email. It covers:
- Care Advice - your Housing, Safety, Security, Health and Finance needs
- Free Services - from Inspire, Age Concern and Equipment Loans.
- Your Rights - Safeguarding them
- Support for Carers - Carer Support
- Shopping - including Nursing, Transport, Equipment, Day Care and Respite holiday
The initial design phase and user consultation is complete and Phase I of the website is being produced for launch later this year. Phase II of the Care Portal will see a more interactive service including the opportunity of purchasing care provision on line.
Cornish WebServices have worked previously with the Inspire Community Trust on several collaborative projects and have particular expertise with accessible websites and database driven websites.
The care portal website will have a database of care providers behind it which will supply both menu driven website pages and search results to create a website with easy to locate services.
