Core offering

Granite Care Consortium delivers integrated care and support at home services across Aberdeen City through a consortium of nine local third-sector and independent care providers. Services are commissioned under a unified block contract with Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership via Self-Directed Support Option 3, offering person-centred, outcomes-focused support for vulnerable adults, including those with complex needs, dementia, mental health issues, physical disabilities, sensory impairment and learning disabilities.

Product overview

Granite Care Consortium (GCC) is a consortium co-operative model offering integrated health and social care at home services in Aberdeen City. It is not a single product but a coordinated network of 9 member organizations providing person-centred, outcome-focused care. The consortium delivers care under Self Directed Support Option 3, moving away from time-and-task approaches to flexible, enablement-based support. Each member organization maintains its distinct brand and specialisation while collaborating under shared consortium principles: making decisions together, implementing together, and being jointly accountable for results. The 9 member organizations—Aberdeen Cyrenians, Ann Inspired Care, Blackwood Homes and Care, Community Integrated Care, MyCare Grampian, Paramount Care Aberdeen, Penumbra Mental Health, Specialist Resource Solutions, and VSA—bring over 400 years of combined experience across multiple care specialisations including dementia care, mental health, complex needs, physical disabilities, and general homecare support.
