| Annotation | The Richmond Group of Charities is a collaboration of 12 of the largest health and care charities in the UK. This report was written by the King's Fund and the Nuffield Trust, and commissioned by the Richmond Group of Charities in partnership with the British Red Cross and the Royal Voluntary Service (RVS). The report complements the King's Fund and Nuffield Trust report, 'Social care for older people: home truths'. It is based on seven interviews, capturing the experiences of people aged 65 and over with recent experience of the social care system; the interviews are presented as vignettes, and as far as possible, in interviewees' own words. They illustrate six themes: access to high-quality care; personalisation, asset-based approaches and care in the community; the sustainability of the social care provider market; a care workforce fit for purpose; do unpaid carers get enough support? and integration of health and social care. While the Care Act 2014 offers new rights for carers, the reality is that funding problems faced by local authorities are making it difficult to implement. RH). |
