Cheshire East Council will receive a grant of £10.8m over the next three years, dedicated to the needs of the growing adult social care sector and the wider local health economy.
The grant funding is expected to reduce pressure on the NHS by helping people to stay at home for longer and support more people to be discharged from hospital when they are ready and without delay.
Councillor Janet Clowes, Cheshire East Council cabinet member for adult social care and integration, said: "There is an unprecedented increase in demand on adult social care in the borough and we are always looking at innovative ways to support our vulnerable residents.
"We have an ageing population, which we are determined to support the best we can by providing support to allow them to live in their own homes for longer and to have more choice and control.
"We also have a lot of younger adults who are transitioning to adult social care, many of whom have very complex needs. It is our foremost priority to ensure that a high standard of care is provided in a timely manner to our residents.
"This grant is a welcome boost to Cheshire East residents as we continue to deliver against our outcome of living well for longer."
