This study involved a survey of all social care homes in the county, followed by measures of quality of life/service for a random sample of 30 people identified by the survey, interviews with home managers, service users, family carers and care managers, and focus groups with members of four community learning disability teams. The total number of people placed from out-of-area was estimated to be close to 2,000 (1,500 were placed by the local authority within the county). The main reason for such placements was lack of good local services, but cost also seemed important. For many of those who had been in long-stay hospital, locality appeared not to be important. Effects varied, but at least a third of people were experiencing very poor service quality and quality of life. Family carers generally felt their relative was happy, but fear of losing the placement was a strong theme. Distance was a major difficulty for both family and care manager involvement. For local community learning disability teams, the main problems included increased workload, reduced provision for local residents, difficulty in dealing with placing authority and the poor quality of the homes. Challenges for public agencies include provision of better local services, management of the cost incentives, especially for London Boroughs, and a system where funding follows the person wherever they chose to live. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
