East Midland’s Home Care POPPI Statistics

Information collated by Katy Town,

Figures in this document are from the Projecting Older People Population Information system (POPPI). This site is provided by the Care Services Efficiency Delivery (CSED) and the Department of Health, copyright Crown 2008. All graphs come with two sets of projected figures. The first has each year from 2008 to 2013 and the second every five years from 2010 to 2030.

Data has been collected from the POPPI website (www.poppi.org.uk) and collated to allow comparison between the councils within the East Midlands. The figures are projected up to 2030 to show the trend in the number of people using the service described.

Index:

1. Older people living at home with a limiting long-term illness

2. Older people helped to live at home

3. Households receiving intensive home care packages
1. Older people living at home with a limiting long-term illness

Figures are taken from ONS Table C0839, Age (65 and over in 5 year age groups) and Limiting long-term illness (LLTI) by household size, a commissioned table from ONS using information from the 2001 census. Numbers have been calculated by applying percentages to projected population figures. The most recent census information is for year 2001 (the next census will be conducted in 2011).

2. Older people helped to live at home

The data for the graphs to show the number of people helped to live at home comes from the Social Services Performance Assessment Framework Indicators: Adults 2007-08, Care Quality Commission, reference AO/C32. This indicator covers people receiving any amount of care following a community care assessment by a council, so is being used to show how much low level care is provided. Such care can prevent or postpone a person needing more intensive care packages or residential care. For this indicator a high figure would equate to good performance.

The performance assessment framework indicators are a collection of performance indicators which together give a view of how local councils are serving their residents. The rates per 1000 have been applied to ONS population projections of the 65 and over population to give projections of the numbers helped to live at home with 2007/08 performance levels.

3. Households receiving intensive home care packages

The data for the graphs came from the Social Services Performance Assessment Framework Indicators 2007-08, Care Quality Commission, reference AO/C28. The provision of intensive home care services helps many people to remain at home, or to go home following hospital treatment or a period spent in a care home. Most people prefer care in their own homes rather than in a care home and it comes closest to meeting the aim of helping people to live an independent life. For this indicator a high figure would equate to good performance.
