This project focuses on older people and their transition between different services and agencies in health and social care. Research studies and reports from inspectors have shown that older people experience many problems before, during and after transitions. This project had two key aims. First, it explored what information, support and care is needed by older people and their carers as they go through a transition. Second, the project team worked with people and organisations in four local areas to put the findings into practice. Care transitions involve far more than a move across services or settings. Participants in this study experienced transitions on a number of different levels: physical, including bodily changes as well as use of services; psychological, with changes in their identity or sense of self; and social, with changes in their relationships with partners, family and friends. These different transitions often happened simultaneously and if circumstances made coping difficult in one type of transition then it was likely to have an effect on others. Most of the suggestions participants made for improving services called for ‘micro-changes’ in the care environment and in interpersonal relationships. There was little suggestion that what was needed was new or different services; easier and earlier access to existing services emerged as a far greater priority. While these micro-changes may not cost large amounts of money, they do require committed and sustained effort to challenge existing ways of working that may be deeply ingrained in organisational and professional cultures.
