IPC prepares national report on the future of care for older people
IPC has been involved in the preparation of a report for the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) on the future of services for older people. 'The Case for Tomorrow: facing the future' is a review of the changes over the last 10 years and a vision of the future.

Originally developed for the Care Services Efficiency Delivery Programme (CSED), part of the Department of Health, this system provides population data by age band, gender, ethnic group, religion, tenure, transport, living with no central heating, household growth and by state pension for English local authorities. Calculations are applied to population figures to estimate projected numbers of older people by; those living alone, living in care home, receiving unpaid care, their ability to carry out domestic tasks and self care.

Prevalence rates from research have been used to estimate the impact of; limiting long term illness, depression, severe depression, dementia, heart attack, stroke, bronchitis\emphysema, falls, continence, visual impairment, hearing impairment, mobility, obesity, diabetes and learning disability including Down's syndrome.

Finally, nationally available performance data on; helped to independently, intensive home care, community based services, supported residents in care homes, admissions to permanent residential and nursing care, carers receiving services, and individual budgets/self directed support/direct payments are applied to the projected population figures.

This view-only system is developed by the Institute of Public Care (IPC). It is for use by local authority planners and commissioners of social care provision in England, together with providers and supporting organisations. It is a programme designed to help explore the possible impact that demography and certain conditions may have on populations aged 65 and over.
