Make My Day Findings from the inquiry into older people and human rights in home care

4/24/20142 Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home... Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Eleanor Roosevelt

4/24/20143 Our findings and recommendations have been drawn from a broad evidence base that was gathered from 1,254 individuals, local authorities, care providers and other organisations across England by means of: Inviting written evidence Conducting focus groups Interviews Surveys How we conducted the Inquiry

4/24/20144 Key factors influencing older peoples satisfaction with care: consistency of staff Reliability staff interacting positively with or having time to talk them control over tasks to be carried out Findings

4/24/20145 Findings Key elements of care workers satisfaction: helping older people to keep their independence talking and getting to know people as individuals being able to provide high-quality, respectful care having flexibility and being able to use their initiative.

4/24/20146 Causes for concern included: Older people not being given adequate support to eat and drink Neglect Financial abuse Disregard for older peoples privacy and dignity Talking over older people Little attention to older people's choices Risks to personal security Physical abuse Findings

4/24/20147 Pervasive social isolation and loneliness Im stuck here all day long, and I look at the sun and I think, I wish I could get out there … if youre stuck between four walls of a day, every day, that is like living in a box being squeezed in. Woman, 78, lives alone, local authority funded Findings

4/24/20148 I felt worse than a baby... a package that was just left there. They would come in and do this and that, and go again, and then come back. I just wanted to curl up and die. I was diminished. I wasnt me any more... not quite a human being. My life was... taken over. Woman, 76, lives with partner, direct payments from Independent Living Fund Impact on older people

4/24/20149 Many of these problems could be resolved if local authorities made more of the opportunities they have to promote and protect older peoples human rights in: the way home care is commissioned the way home care contracts are procured and monitored. Effects of commissioning practices

4/24/ Quality/cost Time and task Monitoring of contracts Clear need for supportive senior leadership Good practice underpinned by understanding of human rights. Commissioning practices

4/24/ A number of other interlinked factors are contributing to the human rights risks identified in our findings: Differential treatment related to age. A lack of suitable information on the different processes and options for obtaining care. Patchy or no advocacy or age-appropriate brokerage support. A lack of investment in care workers. Other contributing factors

4/24/ Proper legal protection More effective monitoring Better guidance Key recommendations

4/24/ Our primary recommendation is that the definition of public function should be extended to include the provision of home care by private and voluntary sector organisations, at least when this is publicly arranged. Proper legal protection

4/24/ Local authorities need to do more to incorporate human rights into the ways in which they commission care services and need to overcome the barriers which many older people face when raising concerns or making complaints. The CQC risk-based approach to the regulation of home care needs to place more reliance on inspection of care providers and obtaining the unconstrained voices of service users. More effective monitoring

4/24/ Much more consumer information should be compiled and made accessible about the quality of care providers and their specialist areas to enable home care users to make an informed choice. Better guidance

4/24/ Work with partners to deliver recommendations EHRC will create and distribute targeted guidance Guidance empowering older people Guidance containing voluntary national standards for local authorities on commissioning Follow up

4/24/ How do I find out more? The final report and executive summary are available from EHRCs website at: policy/inquiries-and-assessments/inquiry-into- home-care-of-older-people/
