Care in the community - or not! - a photo on Flickriver

Care in the Community (also called "Community Care" or "Domiciliary Care") is a British policy of deinstitutionalisation, treating and caring for physically and mentally disabled people in their homes rather than in an institution. Institutional care was the target of widespread criticism during the 1960s and 1970s, but it was not until 1983 that the government of Margaret Thatcher adopted a new policy of care after the Audit Commission published a report called 'Making a Reality of Community Care' which outlined the advantages of domiciliary care.

Although this policy has been attributed to the Margaret Thatcher government in the 1980s, community care was not a new idea. As a policy it had been around since the early 1950s. Its general aim was a more cost-effective way of helping people with mental health problems and physical disabilities, by removing them from impersonal, often Victorian, institutions, and caring for them in their own homes.

As we now know care in the community or anywhere else is seriously lacking in the UK - the number of "bed blockers" (people who can't be discharged from hospital as there is no "care" for them) continues to rise and ambulances wait for hours (sometimes days) to get a people into hospital.

The pandemics strain on the NHS has highlighted where the real "bottle-neck" in the system is.
