| Annotation | Home care providers can be a great source of help and support to their customers - if the purchasers allow them. In the second of two articles, the authors present findings of research conducted at the Social Policy Research Unit (SPRU), University of York on what helps a home care provider to provide flexible, holistic, person-centred services for older people. Topics include: the philosophy of the provider-manager; size of management team; policies on staff rotas; and advantages for in-house social services providers. SPRU has published a full report of the findings as "Making home care for older people more flexible and person-centred: factors which promote this", also a summary report, "Flexible, person-centred home care for older people". (RH). |
