AnnotationThis report describes the findings from a project funded by the Department of Health Community Care Development Programme. The project developed a set of quality indicators, derived from discussions with users of domiciliary care services and their carers. Based on these quality indicators, the project then developed a set of quality assurance frameworks for use by the various stakeholders in domiciliary care: local authority commissioners for domiciliary care; care managers and domiciliary care assessors; providers of domiciliary care services; and inspection and accreditation staff.
