| Annotation | This short report summarises two separate studies documenting some of the changes that have taken place since full implementation of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990. The first, 'Social work and community care', focuses on the mixed economy of care. The second, 'Community care arrangements for older people with dementia' found evidence that community and long term care services were targeted on those with more severe dementia, and that assessments were more responsive to carers. Receipt of home care and day care appeared to help some people tom remain in their own homes, but the risk of entry to long term care was still high. (RH). |
