Synopsis

If home-based care is to become a real alternative to residential care for substantial numbers of the frail elderly, then what is required is not a simple expansion of existing services but a thorough reform of personal social services. This is the lesson which this book draws from a broad study of social care innovations at local level, conducted by an international team of experts in the Netherlands, Sweden, England and Wales.
