Describes the full evaluation of the community care scheme for older people in Kent. Compares the cost-effectiveness of the scheme for users and carers with the range of services which would otherwise have been received. Argues that effective case management by a key worker is an essential feature of more effective home care for the very frail elderly and that the case management role is an appropriate model of social work for other long term care groups.
