Key Facts

Enhancing quality of life for people with care and support needs

The measure of social care related quality of life is calculated from responses to 8 questions in the Adult Social Care Survey (ASCS). A service user's answers to each question are given a score between 0 and 3 which relates to the level of needs they say they have across 8 different social care domains. Therefore the maximum score is 24 and the minimum is 0. In 2011-12, the average score was 18.7 which is the same as 2010-11 . (Measure 1A).

The proportion of service users and carers who received self directed support was 43 per cent in 2011-12 compared to 29 per cent in 2010-11. It was highest for those service users aged 18-64 with a learning disability (59 per cent) and lowest for those aged 18-64 with a mental health problem (14 per cent). The proportion for older adults aged 65 or over was 45 per cent and the figure for carers of all ages was also 45 per cent. (Measure 1Ci.). Delaying and reducing the need for care and support

There were 706 permanent admissions to residential care or nursing homes per 100,000 population for adults aged 65 or over in 2011-12. The equivalent number for adults aged 18-64 was 19. (Measure 2Ai and ii).

The proportion of older people (65 and over) who were still at home 91 days after discharge from hospital into reablement/rehabilitation services was 83 per cent in 2011-12 which was an increase of 1 percentage point from 82 per cent in 2010-11. It was higher for females (84 per cent) than males (80 per cent), and higher for adults aged 65-74 (87 per cent) than 75-84 (84 per cent) and 85+ (80 per cent). (Measure 2Bi).

Ensuring people have a positive experience of care and support

The proportion of service users who said they were extremely or very satisfied with their care and support was 63 per cent in 2011-12 which was similar to 2010-11. It was slightly higher for those aged 18-64 (65 per cent) than those aged 65 or more (62 per cent). (Measure 3A).

Safeguarding people whose circumstances make them vulnerable and protecting from avoidable harm

The proportion of service users who said they felt safe was 64 per cent in 2011-12 and 62 per cent in 2010-11. This was higher for those aged 65 or more (65 per cent) than those aged 18-64 (61per cent). (Measure 4A).
