More and more people now have access to the care they need than ever before. My company provides <a href="http://www.homeinstead.com/608/Pages/assisted-living-manchester-nh.aspx" rel="nofollow">assisted living in Manchester NH</a> and in many of the surrounding communities and we're definitely witnessing an uptick in service demand.<br /><br />Thanks for your insight!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083533462296252640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016904785776950121.post-52371627212135797222016-07-12T06:21:38.588+01:002016-07-12T06:21:38.588+01:00Thanks for this Jan - yes, agree statistics can on...Thanks for this Jan - yes, agree statistics can only ever be partial (in probably more than one sense of the term) but as long as we see them for what they are (and are not) they can be helpful.

Yes, agree entirely about the position that families are being put in and I'm astonished on a daily basis at what Sara Ryan and the #justiceforLB crew are managing to keep on doing in the face of multiple extreme crapitude. I guess I can't speak for others (professionals or academics) but there are certainly quite a few academics supporting #justiceforLB in a range of ways that might be more or less visible depending on people's preferences - the more the better of course!Chris Hattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299821560069281510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016904785776950121.post-66568649740295997332015-01-14T09:14:52.076+00:002015-01-14T09:14:52.076+00:00Thanks for this - absolutely agree.

There are big changes coming to the way some of these statistics are collected which will show in data for 2015/16 - not sure if this will be helpful or not but we'll see. <br /><br />Exercises like the Joint Health and Social Care Self Assessment Framework are trying to encourage local areas to think and report information in a joined-up way (www.improvinghealthandlives.org.uk/publications/1226/Joint_Health_and_Social_Care_Self-Assessment_Framework_2013_-_Detailed_report_on_number_questions www.improvinghealthandlives.org.uk/publications/1233/Joint_Health_and_Social_Care_Self-Assessment_Framework_RAG_and_thematic_analysis) but this doesn't seem to be feeding through to proper joined-up strategic planning routinely as yet (www.improvinghealthandlives.org.uk/publications/1240/Joint_Strategic_Needs_Assessments_2014_How_well_do_they_address_the_needs_of_people_with_learning_disabilities?).<br /><br />And there are prospects for linking sets of information across different services, but they do all rely on people being identified somewhere in the first place.<br /><br />I do have some worries about the way 'integrated' services could go - absorption by a health service mindset?Chris Hattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299821560069281510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016904785776950121.post-20036253451521029532015-01-13T17:06:19.475+00:002015-01-13T17:06:19.475+00:00It did, so I will resume.

I agree about parents and families becoming, increasingly, the backstop. Families seem to be caught between a rock and a hard place. Facing reductions in local support of the conventional kind, like day centres, often having to take responsibility for the Direct Payment, and facing the threat of distant and unaccountable placements if they cannot manage, and their relative has complex needs, mental health issues, or behaviours which threaten. Small groups led by families, like Sara Ryan's, are doing a valiant job, but where are the professional and, other than yours, academic voices speaking up with them?Jan Walmsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373683113099382315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016904785776950121.post-76508338409734004702015-01-13T16:58:12.491+00:002015-01-13T16:58:12.491+00:00Yes, Chris, very helpful.

The worry is that along with squeezing the costs on community services, the theory of community connecting as a preventive may fall flat on its face if generic community resources are being cut and shut. Anecdotally from agencies who want the right staff this is resulting in difficulties in recruiting and my worry about what the calibre being recruited by some less good agencies is or will become. We're already seeing the knock-on of social care cuts in pressure on NHS and police - let alone homelessness...and as you say worryingly we've the biggest cuts yet to come and we don't even know who the people are who are not being counted... as criteria for help harden noone is tracking what happens to people with ld who used to be helped and are no longer. Are there any more helpful stats that could be collected and is there a way to join up what exists at the moment - schools maybe linking into adult stats. But who's going to track the casualties of the cuts,and changing policies or the waste from the lack of joined up policy.. I wonder if the Kings fund Barker Report might help at least joining up Health and social care - we do know from the assessment and treatment units that we see an amazing misuse of resources here which could be better joined up in the communityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
