Thinking differently about residential care: what does the data say?

Dan Fisher and Chris Lewington are working with ADASS West Midlands analysing data about the region’s commissioning of residential care services in order to explore future options.

The fragility of care home provision in some localities is a consequence of property values, workforce costs and downward pressure on fees for council-funded residents. Analysis of the data about available beds, people flows, costs and fees provides the evidence base for future planning.
According to Dan and Chris, the sector needs to think differently about the role of residential care, moving away from the traditional idea of it as a final, permanent destination and towards something more flexible, in which people may have episodes of residential care in between longer spells of independent or semi-independent living. For others, including elderly people and those with learning disabilities, it may involve them not experiencing residential care at all.
Involvement with NHS organisations in developing such thinking, via CCGs and through the sustainability and transformation planning process will be key, they say, since individuals who need residential care will almost always be NHS patients as well as care service users.
On 6th February 2019 we will be making five programmes about 'smart lives' in front of a studio audience. You could be in front of the camera or in our expert audience.
Our smart lives are no longer connected to place. We carry This Smart Life with us everywhere we go and overlapping coverage allows ever more ubiquitous connectivity. We no longer notice or count the spaces where we can connect, we only notice when connection is poor or when we cannot connect at all. This Smart Life is a whole new world. Programmes will be online from 11 February, and will also be available as podcasts.

An end to commuting and to traffic congestion; work as state of mind not a place of labour; the future of private car ownership if there is one; my data total recall, voice bidable things; identity and personal security.
12:00-12:40 – Health & wellbeing – a smart approach

15:00-15:40 - This Smart Life - Round Table
Five guests and our host discuss and respond to what they have heard during the dayAll this takes place at 58 Victoria Embankment (the NESTA building) two minutes walk from London Blackfriars Station. Cameras are rolling by 10.30am and it's all over bar the handshakes by 4.00pm. Lunch and refreshments? Of course. But let’s be frank, it’s the quality of the brain food not the sandwiches that make this the single most useful ticket for those shaping the future of UK local public services.
An Audience with CLGdotTV is now running ten times a year. We invite a studio audience of around 50 to join us to make five CLGdotTV programmes. There are no power-points and the questions and interventions from the floor are valued as much as the panellists' contributions.
Some guests stay with us for just one programme and some stay for the lot. It’s a logistical nightmare but somehow we make it work. Each programme is broadcast on CLGdotTV. Plus we edit a 30-40 minute video summary of the day’s conversations with clips from all the debates.
