| Annotation | Fife Council Social Work Services commissioned this report, to establish the expectations, needs and wishes of older people in care settings. The sample was to be small, and consist of those residents in care settings who had no friends or relatives to offer them support. The report presents findings from questions asked on issues such as personal support aids, friendship and spiritual links, hobbies and local community activities. Recommendations that emerged include the provision of independent advocacy, paid of voluntary, for all who require it, and the provision of adequate training for those involved. An information leaflet on the Fife Elderly Forum Executive and a laminated card on independent advocacy accompany this report. (RH). |
