Highlights innovative models and approaches to home care and considers their potential to improve the quality of care and respond to challenges in the home care market. The report summarises evidence on approaches that demonstrate potential in the following areas: Technology and digital; Co-ordinated care planning; Recruitment and retention; Autonomous team working; Alternative approaches to commissioning; Personalisation; Integrated care approaches; Community assets and connections; and Family-based support and communal living. For each of the areas the report provides: a brief description and examples, findings from a review of evidence; further potential benefits where evidence is not yet available; and contextual factors, including potential barriers and enablers to implementation. A table is included to indicate how widely each of the approaches have been widely adopted and evaluated, and whether it has potential to improve quality, provide cost savings and be scaled up. The report also identifies some common challenges and key priorities for the new models.

This paper provides summaries of six innovative models of support which draw upon the strengths and assets of people and communities. The innovations covered are: Community Catalysts CIS, Community Circles, Local Area Coordination, Shared Lives, Homeshare, and Wellbeing teams. Each summary provides information on the problem the approach aims to solve; the solution; evidence base; expected impact; the current state of the initiative; and what need to support the innovation to happen and what would stop the innovation from happening successfully.
