An in-depth look at how the #CareAct will affect homecare
providers. The 'traditional' council-defined services will be replaced by
systems which assess and provide for people's needs. The Act's statutory
guidance includes:-
- the involvement of service users in deciding their care
and support plans
- the greater use of low level services to help people
remain at home
- homecare providers to encourage family carers to gain
additional council support
- councils to be responsible for 'market-shaping' the
local market comprehensively
- councils now must make decisions on purchasing homecare
based on value for money and not on economies alone.
