Homecare, including supported living, is vital for people with care and support needs to live at home, yet it is the most fragile part of the social care market.
Both commissioners and providers are concerned about the sustainability of this part of the social care market.
To help address this, the LGA with the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) and the United Kingdom Homecare Association (UKHCA), have worked together to jointly produce a top tips paper covering a number of issues common to care providers and council commissioners, with the aim of giving some pointers and practice advice on tackling practical aspects of the homecare market.
