Care and Repair projects provide a range of property based, but personalised services to support older and disabled home owners, tenants of private landlords and crofters, to help them remain in their homes. They make it easier for people to improve and adapt their homes by helping them to decide what work is required, choose reliable tradesmen, obtain finance and oversee the work. Small repairs services may also be available. The ethos and approach taken by Care and Repair is unique, offering a flexible, person centred, property related service. They deliver a flexible and holistic approach that is independent, confidential and non-judgemental and are seen as approachable, trusted and responsive to individual needs. As part of the review, interviews took place with the Care and Repair Forum Board members followed by a more in-depth review of local services by an independent consultant (ODS Consulting) appointed by the Scottish Government. This work included a structured telephone survey of the managers of Care and Repair projects, followed by an online survey of managing agents, management board representatives, local authority sponsors, partner organisations and other providers of Care and Repair type services. National consultation events also took place to bring together anyone with an interest in Care and Repair, to talk about its potential future role. It is primarily for Care and Repair projects and their key stakeholders to decide how best to make use of the tools that these review findings provide.
