| Annotation | The qualitative method used in this pilot study of community care services in Surrey was mainly concerned with interviewing older users and their carers about their experiences of community care. Research findings - which are not to be quoted without the authors' permission - cover satisfactions and dissatisfactions of users and carers, and how community care services could more effectively fulfil users' and carers' needs. The numbers interviewed are not representative of the 20,000 older people in Surrey in high need (Community care plan, 1995), but the issues raised illustrate some of the difficulties users and carers face, and their satisfactions with existing services. Policy implications and recommendations are discussed. (RH). |
