Annotation	'Good ideas' has been developed specifically to help day carers and respite carers who work with older people in their own homes. The research for this handbook was conducted by older people who had been trained in interview and research techniques. Interviews were held with older housebound people to find what support would help them maximise their lifestyle within their own home. The research focused on how older people could remain physically active, eat and drink well, and maintain good social relationships. The project was sponsored by NHS Health Scotland and the City of Edinburgh Council's Department of Health and Social Care. (KJ/RH).
