Care Alliance launches social care survey

2010-05-17 09:59:00

The Care Alliance has launched a new online survey to find out whether the recent economic pressures that have been put on local authorities have affected the amount or quality of social care that they are providing. The survey can be completed by the person receiving care, their carer, a relative or friend. It takes around five minutes and focuses on the different ways older people are helped to carry out day to day tasks, such as washing and dressing, in their homes or in a care home. You can access the survey through the cancer charity Macmillan’s website. Macmillan is a member of the Care Alliance which is a group of charities and organisations that have come together to raise the profile of social care and help improve the care system.
