    Outcomes for older telecare recipients: The importance of assessments
    (SAGE, 2019-10-30) Woolham, John; Steils, Nicole; Fisk, Malcolm; Porteus, Jeremy; Forsyth, Kirsty
    Summary This article explores the role of telecare assessment, review and staff training in meeting the needs of older people living at home. Using original empirical data obtained from an online survey of English local authorities it reveals considerable variation in assessment and review practice and in training given to social work and other staff who assess and review, which may impact on outcomes for telecare users. The study findings are situated within an English policy context and earlier findings from a large, government funded randomised controlled trial. This trial concluded that telecare did not lead to better outcomes for users.
