| Annotation | Home care is an essential service that enables older people who may otherwise be unable to cope to remain safely at home. This report summarises evidence about the performance of home care in England, drawing on evidence collected by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) over the last two years. It gives an overview of the current state of the domiciliary care market (the appendix includes recent data). It presents evidence on older people's experience of home care: what they want from services and their levels of satisfaction. It looks at the quality of registered domiciliary care services, including performance against the national minimum standards and regional variation. It summarises evidence about how councils commission home care, including contractual arrangements with providers. It provides examples of innovative practice identified during visits to nine councils (Oldham, Essex, Shropshire, Thurrock, Hartlepool, Leicestershire, Sandwell, Trafford and Wandsworth) and three providers (in Sunderland, Southampton and Salford).
