This club covers the range of services provided to older people.
The club provides four sets of analysis:
PSS Ex1 Analysis
By using the data already available in the PSS Ex1 we can provide a large number of
comparisons quickly and without any workload for club members.
Externally Provided Residential Care
Here we use the methodology developed in the 2007 'Residential Placements' club to
compare the distribution of costs paid for externally provided Residential Placements.
The age profile for the client group is also examined to help authorities make their projections.
Local Authority Run Residential Homes
Here we use the methodology developed in the 2007 'Residential Homes' club to compare the
local authority run homes. Comparisons are provided both on an authority basis,
to explain the differences in unit cost between authorities and also one a homes basis.
As with the 2007 'Residential Homes' club a report will be produced for each individual
residential home supplied by an authority.
Other Services to Older People
The questionnaire will ask a number of short questions about the services provided to older
people relating both to financial and operational matters. The steering group
(of local authority practitioners) will meet to decide what questions they feel
would be interesting and useful to members. Areas likely to be covered are
Commissioning & Social Work, Day Care, Direct Payments, Home Care, Individual
Budgets and Performance Measures.
