Elderly people are being hit hard by cuts to social care, according to a new report, which also warns that an increasing number of care homes are going bust.
The study, from the King’s Fund and Nuffield Trust, found that the care and support older people received depended on where they lived and how rich they were rather than their level of need.
If you or your family members have been affected by the cuts, we want to hear from you. Have services been withdrawn in your area? With the report warning that unpaid carers are increasingly expected to contribute to the care of elderly and disabled people, is this a situation you have found yourself in? Has your quality of life been affected?
Whatever your situation, you can share your experiences via our form. We’ll feature a selection of your stories in our ongoing coverage.
