Report of a survey of older people's perceptions of their needs and the availability of support at home. The survey was carried out in central Scotland in 1997 and 1998 and aims to: identify levels and types of felt need for help and support among over 75's; explore the perceptions and experience of older people in relation to seeking help and support; ascertain the level and type of service provision in urban areas in central Scotland; investigate and compare the fit between what is said by local authorities and other service providers and what services are actually known to be available and accessible; to identify factors that might contribute to unmet need; and on the basis of the study's findings to suggest ways in which agencies can bridge the gap between needs and services.
