| Annotation | The results of this research show that a disturbingly high proportion of older adults, disabled older people, and their carers are not getting the practical support they need at home, nor the information that enables access to this support. The study findings are based on a literature survey, and results of a nationwide questionnaire survey that aimed to discover: what support and information older adults, disabled older people and their carers had; what further support they wanted to make life easier at home; what information they needed to give them access to this support; and how they preferred to get this information. This report was published by the Disability Information Trust which closed in 2001. (KJ/RH). |
