A guide for local authorities and other providers to help them ensure that the majority of older people who are on managed personal budgets can benefit from the same level of choice and control as the minority who receive direct payments. The guide highlights research and best practice findings on what older people want and need from a personal budget. It also identifies best practice in the support local authorities should provide and/or commission to help older people achieve the best possible outcomes from their personal budgets. Person-centred practice, Individual Service Funds and Peer Support Networks are also covered. A variety of individual and service case studies are included throughout. (Edited publisher abstract)
