AnnotationThis summary of findings, best practice and action points provides some of the main messages for managers and practitioners from the inspections of care management and assessment in seven local authority areas. The overall aims of the inspections were to assess Social Services Departments' (SSDs') capacity to respond appropriately to the needs of older people who live alone or with carers in the community, and to evaluate the extent to which care planning systems and practice led to services that were responsive to those needs. Details of findings and key messages are contained in the full report.
