Social Atlas of Community Care Needs, (CCNAP, 2000) The Social Atlas forms part of CCNAP's three-year work programme on 'mapping' need for community care services in the Humber sub-region. This first volume is made up of existing socio-economic data within each of the four local authority areas, which is likely to be of relevance to planners and commissioners of community care services. This includes information on the age, gender and distribution of the older adult population, as well as available small area data on income levels, the health of older people and their carers, the quality of local housing, crime and access to services. Much of this information is already in the public domain. A second volume is currently under development which will include service activity data. Our objectives in developing the Atlases are to:
Potential uses:
Volume 1 of the Social Atlas contains 10 sections, each of which include text, tables and some mapped data. For the sake of consistency, all of the mapped data are presented in choropleth ward maps. Where possible the tables also present data by Social Services District and Primary Care Group. Each partner organisation has received at least one hard copy of their local authority Atlas. Due to size restrictions and licensing agreements it is not possible to put the complete Atlases on this site. However selected extracts can be viewed and downloaded from the Online Data section. Copies of the Atlas for each of the 4 local authorities can also be purchased on CD-ROM from CCNAP.
Emergency Acute Admissions of People aged 75+ 1998-99, resident in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, (CCNAP, November 1999) Individual local authority reports were prepared in November 1999, employing hospital episode statistics for the financial year, 1998-9. The admissions data was analysed for trends at both episode and patient level, and presented geographically by electoral ward and Primary Health Care Team. The reports highlighted significant differences between areas in the rate of acute of emergency admissions, with significantly higher than average rates of in the deprived areas of the authorities. The summary contains suggestions for further, more in-depth work on emergency admissions.
Survey of Care Homes in Kingston upon Hull, (CCNAP, 2000) In September 1999, CCNAP was commissioned by Hull Social Services to undertake a survey of residential and nursing care homes for older people resident in the city. The purpose of the survey was to begin work on mapping the market and to provide a benchmark against which local agencies could begin to evaluate business trends in the community care market. If successful the intention was to repeat the survey on an annual basis thus allowing for an analysis of the marketplace over time, with a view to extending it to the home and day care market. The approach was similar to that developed by the North West Business Management Group. Care homes were asked to provide information on the:
Just under 60% of homes responded to the survey, including more than two thirds of independent residential home owners. The report summarises the results of this survey and demonstrates the usefulness of pooling data in this way. The report was submitted to Hull Social Services with a view to wider circulation.
Local health and social agencies currently maintain a wealth of information on the health and social care needs of people with mental health problems known to their services. However, the way that this information is captured and stored makes it difficult to monitor in any systematic way the level of services provided locally. CCNAP were commissioned by representatives from the health and local authorities to help identify ways in which population needs assessment could be taken forward. In particular the Project was asked to:
The report summarises and updates some of the available evidence on mental health needs and makes suggestions about how further work can be taken forward. The report was distributed to local agencies via the local sub-group of the Health Improvement Programme.
This report was prepared on behalf of the Home Improvement Agency, North East Lincolnshire Council. This brief study involved listening to a small number of parents who owned their homes and had recently been unsuccessful in applying for a Disabled Facilities Grant. The purpose of the exercise was to record their views on:
The report summarises the main themes arising from in-depth interviews with eight sets of parents, highlighting areas of good practice as well as areas for improvement. The report was distributed to housing, health and social care agencies within the local authority.
Asking the Experts' brings together relevant research evidence and practical experience of involving vulnerable people in shaping health and community care services. It includes practical guidance based on local and national examples of good practice, which are intended to support ideas for local application. It has proved a useful resource for busy practitioners who do not always have the time to seek out relevant information from the growing body of writing on 'user involvement'!
Study of Continence Services in the South Humber Health Authority area (April, 2001) The Older People’s Needs Assessment, the report of a joint project by South Humber Health Authority, North Lincolnshire Council and North East Lincolnshire Council, was published in February 1999. This report describes the fairly detailed epidemiological findings with respect to continence problems in people aged 65 and older living in South Humber. Following this assessment of need, the multi-agency Health Improvement Working Group for Older People wanted to establish local levels of service provision, in all sectors, for adults with continence problems. The work is also timely in that the Department of Health issued guidance on good practice in continence services in March 2000. The Working Group will be using the information gained to inform decisions about where resources can best be deployed and to ensure the effectiveness of care for people with continence problems. The study aims to:
The report was completed in April 2001 and is available from the CCNAP in hard copy.
Supported Housing Needs of Learning Disabled Adults in the East Riding of Yorkshire (CCNAP, 2001) This project was commissioned by the Strategic Joint Planning Group for the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. It includes a profile of the support and housing needs of a sample of learning disabled adults known to social services, as well as 5 year estimates of need for different forms of supported accommodation.
Pathways Research - Supported Housing Needs of Vulnerable Adults in South Humber, 1999-2001: In 1999, a programme of Housing Pathways research began in the South Humber area. To date, five reports have been completed, with others to follow shortly. They include: The first stage of the Pathways Model is to estimate the number of 'vulnerable' adults in the population of interest and where they live. In preparation for this part of the more detailed Pathways research CCNAP were asked to complete:
The data suggested over-provision in some areas and very limited choice in others, compared with other like authorities. The report was distributed to local agencies via a local HIMP working group and to all those who helped contribute to the audit. It will be available soon in PDF format.
A similar audit was undertaken in North East Lincolnshire and a report published and circulated in December 1999. This will be available soon in PDF format. Survey of Nursing and Residential Home Care in South Humber, (CCNAP, January 2000) In October 1999, a postal survey was conducted of all care homes in the South Humber area. Of the 150 care homes contacted, 61% responded with details of:
This provided useful background information on the numbers of older people in need of care and support in the area and the type of accommodation in which they were living. A full report was distributed to housing and social services departments and a summary distributed to all the care homes that responded to the survey. It will be available soon in PDF format. This survey was followed up by more in-depth interviews with a sample of care home managers and matrons in North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. The results of these interviews are summarised in two additional Pathways research reports. Pathways Housing Research: Care Homes in North Lincolnshire, (CCNAP, August 2000)
Pathways Housing Research: Care Homes in North East Lincolnshire, (CCNAP, September 2000)
Sheltered Housing in North Lincolnshire: The wardens' perspective, (February 2000) This research was conducted as part of the local Pathways Research project investigating the support and accommodation needs of older people in North Lincolnshire. Most housing organisations know a great deal about their stock, but often very little about their residents. This report contains a profile of residents of local authority and housing association sheltered housing in North Lincolnshire and attempts to project demand and supply for future accommodation and support. It also highlights some of the key themes arising from in depth interviews with local sheltered housing wardens. This report forms part of a set of five reports on the supported housing needs of older people in the authority. It was distributed to local social care, housing and health agencies as well as to all of those wardens who participated. It is now available on line in PDF format.
Sheltered Housing in North East Lincolnshire: The wardens' perspective, (March 2000) A similar report was completed and circulated within North East Lincolnshire. The report can be obtained from CCNAP and will be available in PDF format soon. Community Care in North Lincolnshire: The Perspectives of Care Managers, (August 2000) This report summarises the results of in depth interviews with 22 members of North Lincolnshire's Social & Housing Services Care Management teams. It contains professional perspectives on the current and likely future needs of 275 older people living in their own homes who are in receipt of social care support services in the authority and identifies some key issues relevant to the future development of support services for older people in North Lincolnshire.
Care Management and Community Support in North East Lincolnshire, (November 2000) This report summarises the results of in depth interviews with care co-ordinators and care managers in North East Lincolnshire's Social Services Departments. It contains professional perspectives on the current and likely future needs of 332 older people living in their own homes who are in receipt of social care support services in the authority and identifies some key issues relevant to the future development of support services for older people in North East Lincolnshire. This report summarises the results of a research project undertaken between October 2000 and March 2001. It contains baseline information on the support and housing needs of severely disabled adults, as well as projections for the next five years. The research also involved detailed interviews with key staff and summarises some of the main themes which are relevant to the future development of supported housing for this group of vulnerable adults.
