Report focusing on the value older people give to low level services such as help with housework, gardening, home maintenance, and safety and security. Highlights the extent to which these services promote older people's ability to look after themselves and maintain their independence and shows that older people give a higher value to help than they do to care, which they often view as a threat to their independence. The older people saw these low level services as preventing the need for care.
