'It pays dividends': Direct payments and older people
Heather Clark and Helen Gough, School of Social Studies, University
College Chichester and Ann Macfarlane, Disability Consultancy Services
Direct payments have been available to older people receiving community
care services in the UK since February 2000. However, scepticism
remains about older people's desire and ability to use direct payments
and take-up so far has been low.
Drawing on interviews with older people, local authority care managers
and direct payments support service workers, this topical report looks
at how older people use direct payments and how they make them work. It
considers the role of direct payments support services and local
authority care managers in making direct payments a real option for
older people. The report is particularly valuable in reflecting the
views and experiences of older people themselves.
