The study begins by outlining current care policy for older people in the UK, and the development and context of free personal care in Scotland. It then explores the Scottish situation and finds that the similarities are sufficiently strong to argue that Scotland is a good exemplar for social care policies elsewhere in Great Britain. The practical problems encountered in Scotland during its introduction are assessed in detail, from the point of view of both the suppliers of care, and the older people themselves. Looking forward, the authors identify key threats to the sustainability of the Scottish policy and conclude by reviewing the wider lessons for the UK as a whole in designing policies to care for older people.

West Lothian Council has implemented telecare for older people within a new model of care for older people which emphasises ageing in place and capacity building, and utilises both care at home and housing with care. This paper reviews the positive evaluation of the programme in relation to provision of telecare at home for people with dementia. Issues discussed include the timing of intervention, staff and client expectations and experiences, the appropriateness of housing-based support for people with dementia and the ‘mainstreaming’ strategy, whereby telecare was made available to anyone aged 60 and over who wanted it. In conclusion, the paper highlights lessons learned from the West Lothian telecare programme for supporting people with dementia.
