Covering the services older people want to support them in their life at home, this text looks at the barriers that prevent access to practical every-day services, and highlights ways in which improvements can be made in assessing people's needs and providing services.

The Support Older People Want and the Services They Need

Esme Moniz-Cook

This new edited volume seeks to meet the growing need for ways to support people with dementia across the whole course and trajectory of dementia care, with a wide scope of expertise. The book addresses how practitioners and carers can apply psychosocial interventions - which take into consideration the individual, social and environmental aspects of a person's life - across this trajectory, right from the earliest stages through to practice in care home settings. Divided into four sections, each covers a different context in which people with dementia can be supported: at home; in community settings; family and carer support; and those in care homes and hospitals. In addition, there is a distinct focus throughout on evidence-based practice and its implementation in real-world settings. This book is essential reading for any practitioner and caregiver wanting to support people with dementia.

Depression in Later Life

Sandra Dowling

Sarah Cowley

This accessible report explores why and how person-centred planning has spread from learning disability services to influence the whole of adult social care. The recent emphasis on self-directed support in adult social care makes this a timely overview of the origins of person-centred planning. The study describes how person-centred planning began, discusses the evidence base and explains why many practitioners find it an effective way to support people with social care needs. The authors take a critical but constructive look at the claims for person-centred planning in the context of current policy and service developments. They identify barriers to the approach and possible ways to overcome them. This report will fill a major knowledge gap on person-centred planning, and is also relevant to debates about individual budget, self-directed support and In Control.

A Scoping Review

Person-centred Planning in Social Care

Institutional Abuse brings together a number of different research studies and accounts of institutional abuse from leading academics and researchers. Public enquiries and court cases concerning institutional abuse in a range of settings have generated considerable media interest and have highlighted the need for preventative strategies and appropriate responses. Four areas of abuse are covered: *the abuse of children *the abuse of adults with mental health problems *the abuse of adults with learning difficulties *the abuse of older people. Each section includes a chapter which reports on users' experiences of abuse and their views as to how institutional abuse can be prevented and survivors' needs met.
