| Annotation | Although there has been a focus on integrated health and social care services, some older people are still being treated as a collection of conditions or symptoms, rather than as a whole person. This guideline considers how person-centred social care and support for older people with social care needs and multiple long-term conditions should be planned and delivered. It includes recommendations on: identifying and assessing social care needs; care planning, including the role of the named care coordinator; supporting carers; integrating health and social care planning; delivering care; preventing social isolation; and training health and social care practitioners. It examines how those responsible for commissioning, managing and providing care for people with social care needs and multiple long-term conditions should work together to deliver safe, high-quality services that promote independence, choice and control. It is relevant to all older people with social care needs and multiple long-term conditions, including those living in their own homes, in specialist settings or in care homes. Following a detailed review of the evidence, this guideline was developed by a Guideline Committee, and in the context of a changing guidance and legislation, most notably the Care Act 2014. The Guideline Committee found gaps and uncertainties found in the evidence; it recommends further research on: older people's experiences; service delivery models; supporting people in care homes to stay active; developing a "risk positive" approach in care homes; and self-management.
