Report on the First Year of the Care Act for Older People

18 April 2016 by Val Bowen

A year on from the introduction of the Care Act Independent Age has published a report on its impact on older people and their families looking at 3 specific areas:
Information and advice provision
Older people’s and carers’ experience of assessments
Families’ experience of paying care home top-up fees
The report suggests that while the Care Act and guidance is clear about what local authorities need to be doing to meet their obligations, many local authorities are failing to demonstrate that they are following all of the new rules. As a result, they are compromising the delivery of care and support to older people. View report.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
