AnnotationHome care is an essential care service that improves people's quality of life and promotes independence. However, councils are increasingly reliant on charges to fund services. This briefing outlines the findings of the Audit Commission report, "Charging with care", the second in a series from the Commission on the theme of supporting older people's independence. It looks at why councils charge, variations in charging, and how well charging is managed. It outlines the report's agenda for action, which includes improving services through "best value" reviews.
