| Annotation | The research reported here was part of the 'Measuring Outcomes for Public Service Users' (MOPSU) project, which was funded 2007-2009 by the Treasury under the Invest to Save budget and led by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The project developed and tested an approach to measuring and monitoring outcomes of the care and support provided to residents of care homes for older people and people with learning disabilities. The overarching aim was to develop the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit (ASCOT) that would provide a variety of approaches to identifying and monitoring value across the range of social care interventions, which are detailed on the website (http://www.pssru.ac.uk/ascot/). This report focuses on the domains that comprise social care-related quality of life (SCRQOL): personal cleanliness and comfort; safety; control over daily life; accommodation cleanliness and comfort; occupation; social participation and involvement; and dignity. It examines the reliability and validity of ASCOT and SCRQOL; dependency and capacity to benefit (CtB); outcomes and quality of care; ad outcomes, quality and star ratings. The report notes that the ASCOT measure is being tested as an important component of the annual social care services user experience survey (UES), which from 2011 is planned to cover all services, including care homes.
