| Annotation | The title of this article is a quote from a lonely Chinese elder making the case for a lunch club. The author, who is head of older people's services for Sheffield City Council, describes the development of social care services for black and minority ethnic communities achieved during an era of financial constraint. Services include those provided at a residential home, and home care services. Reference is made to recent reports: "Supportive services, effective strategies" (Race Equality Unit - REU); "They look after their own, don't they?" (Social Services Inspectorate - SSI); National standards framework for local authorities; and "Race, culture and community care". These provide a wealth of information, prompting social care organisations to consider their approach to service provision. (RH). |
