Moving on from Community Care: The Treatment, Care and Support of Older People in England

This ambitious book gives an up-to-date overview of the wide range of recent changes within the NHS, local government and the independent sector, relating to health, housing and social care for older people in England. It explores the background to the last decade of change; and explains the more important aspects for older people with ongoing care needs: getting access to services; knowing what help is available, and from whom; the standards and quality of services; paying for services; and how organisations should be communicating with users and carers. The book can be read as a whole or used for reference to find areas of key interest.
