| Annotation | This is the seventh in a series of ten think pieces from leading UK think tanks to mark Hanover's 50th year in providing high quality housing and related services for older people. The author argues that traditional care services are impersonal, disempowering, and increasingly rationed. He proposes that relational and 'asset based' models characterised by mutuality and micro-scale are the best way to meet care, support and inclusion needs - and offer the best value. This paper attempts to put people back into personalisation, and explores the various ways in which human needs can be met and their skills harnessed by existing and new models of support. 'Demand side' reforms such as Direct Payments do not on their own result in a change of provision in the care and support market. It asks what 'supply-side' reforms might be needed in order to bring real choice - the choice about the shape of their lives - to those newly 'empowered consumers'. This item is also a chapter in 'Perspectives on ageing and housing: insights by leading UK think tanks' (RH). |
