AgeUK blog on the future of care homes.

An interesting AgeUK blog yesterday on the future of care homes (http://ageukblog.org.uk/) where they talk about the isolation of care at home.  We believe that social activities are essential, and yet a lot of care provided by local authorities and other care companies is focussed only on the bare minimum of personal care.  We are in the process of building relationships with several residential providers to provide a package of day care (in light of council cutbacks to funded daycare), so we provide the service to get our clients up and ready for the day and provide transport them to the care home and the reverse at the end of the days.  We hope that these sorts of services provide both indepedence and comfort of home with social activites and community.  More details to follow...
