Pressure on resource has led to service cuts on a reduction in social care provision for older people across London. This document provides an overview of the needs of older people in London and the ways in which services can be provided to come closer to meeting older people’s needs. It then highlights services that can make an impact, including local preventive services, support for people discharged from hospital, home handyperson services, and the provision of information and advice. Recommendations to improve social care for older people in London are made, which include national funding and an increase of joint working between local authorities, primary care trusts and other key stakeholders.
