- Title
Shifting eligibility criteria for social care.
- Authors
Bell, Andy
- Abstract
The author offers observation on the news that adult social services in Great Britain are being forced to raise their thresholds for home care. He reveals that according to the Commission for Social Care Inspection, 70% of authorities are limiting home care to older people who cannot get out of bed or cook a meal for themselves. He suggests that local commissioners should be testing ways of offering practical support to people whose independence is at risk.
