| Annotation | The Partnership for Older People Projects (POPPs) were funded by the Department of Health (DH) to develop services for older people, aimed at promoting their health, well-being and independence and preventing or delaying their need for higher intensity or institutional care. The evaluation found that a wide range of projects resulted in improved quality of life for participants and considerable savings, as well as better local working relationships. This final report examines the POPPs' project activities and focus. It sets out overarching data, mapping the numbers and demographic characteristics of users, and their pathway from other organisations. It presents baseline information from a standardised questionnaire; the impact of the POPP programmes on users' quality of life; and the impact, costs and cost-effectiveness of such projects. Their sustainability is considered in terms of the mechanisms used by POPP sites in seeking to continue their local projects. Other than basic information listings for the project sites, the report does not refer to specific examples. Rather, the intention is to demonstrate the nature and type of preventive projects that are most effective in achieving the key outcomes. (KJ/RH). |
