Abstract
  • Following a seminar for front-line health, housing and social care professionals, King's Fund staff were invited to take part in an afternoon event on 13 April 1999 to consider current care arrangements and provision for older people; and to discuss their thoughts on what they would want should they need treatment, care and support in their own old age. This report is a summary of the discussions which arose from three activities during the afternoon: working in pairs, each person told a favourite story about an older person; each listener recorded two words or phrases which stood out from the story; small groups compiled lists of things to be proudest of, and sorriest about, in the current treatment, care and support of older people; and four groups separately considered the key things they would and would not want if treatment, care and support in their old age, if they were 1. Living alone; 2. Living as a couple, with you as the carer; 3. Living as a couple, with you being cared for; and 4. Living with family.
