| Annotation | This study was commissioned by the Commission for Rural Communities as part of its programme of work on rural disadvantage and access to services. The aim is to inform debate about the transformation of social care and to produce a set of specific messages about and for rural communities on evidence from rural areas. The study is based largely on 33 interviews with people living and working in rural areas of England in early 2008. Some knew a great deal about individual budgets (IBs) and were asked to think about the rural implications of the personalisation of social care based on their experiences, while others thought about the implications of the personalisation of social care for rural communities. The focus was on people aged 75+, and participants' experiences and expectations. Lessons of the study for older people themselves, for voluntary and community groups, and for private sector and statutory service providers lead to recommendations on "rural proofing", research and monitoring the personalisation programme, and implementing initiatives in rural localities.
