| Annotation | With the expansion of competition and choice in the home care market and increased control by older people over the public resources for their care, this article suggests that whilst there are small increases in user agency and in opportunities for people to receive more personalised home care, there is early evidence of increases in risk and costs associated with the expansion of competition and choice, both for organisations providing home care services and for individual older service users.
