Description

Social care is not free at the point of access and people developing care and support needs can be exposed to potentially very high and unpredictable care costs over their lifetime. We hypothesize that there are inconsistent levels of preparedness and varying attitudes towards planning for future social care need among Surrey's residents. Different approaches to promoting independence and planning for future may be needed for residents at different stages of life to prevent escalating care costs for both the individual and Local Authority.

This research will help to gather insight and intelligence from Surrey's residents to help prepare Surrey County Council for the social care reforms, develop an effective communications campaign amongst Surrey residents, and enhance the system to better enable residents to plan for future health and care needs.
