Domiciliary care services are generally agreed to be the most important in respect of enabling older people, and others with severe disabilities, to remain in their own homes where this is their choice. This study represents Stage 1 of a two stage programme of research into domiciliary care provision. The study identified domiciliary care providers in Scotland and a sample of one in two of these was surveyed in order to examine the availability and range of domiciliary care provision across all sectors. Stage 2 of the research will investigate the extent to which domiciliary services for very dependent older people (including those with dementia) present a viable alternative to residential care.
