AnnotationIsolation, staffs shortages, cost, and lack of facilities and transport all hamper social care provision in rural areas. The author examines innovative solutions using new technology to help service users living in the countryside. He describes the Convalescent and Recuperative Environment project (Care) set up by Harper Adams University College, Shropshire in 2000. The project explores the possibility of using farm accommodation for the provision of health and social care. (RH).
