Report drawn from two seminars attended by frontline practitioners and others working in health, housing and social care. Looks at current treatment, care and support of older people, and what the participants would want for their own old age should such assistance be needed. Key messages emerged, including: staff working in services are very critical of some aspects of current provision for older people; there are major concerns about provision for the future; staff have a great number of ideas for improving services; and there is no overall national vision shaping the system of support for older people.
