Describes the development of a recording system for use by social workers in the long term care of elderly people at home. The system can be used by individual staff to plot their caseload activities and by management in considering problems of resource deployment. The system consists of: assessment document; periodic case reviews; a monitoring chart; and costing information. The analysis of a cohort of cases in the early phase of their care are discussed and the possible range of uses for such a recording system considered.
