| Annotation | This edition of "Domiciliary care markets" analyses the nature of the various domiciliary care services: local authority; meals; informal and privately purchased homecare; monitoring, social alarms and telecare; and community health services. The report considers expenditure and describes the system of regulation of homecare services following the Care Standards Act 2000 (CSA), as well as the current system of accreditation. An overview of the current structure of the provider side of the industry is given, with information on the major players. Factors affecting the demand for community care by older people are identified. Chapters on sources of finance, prices, costs and profits explain local authorities' funding and social care purchasing processes. Tables are throughout the publication; there is also a 12-page summary, references and a bibliography. (RH/KJ). |
