Often they need to arrange care at short notice and with little awareness of who to ask and what to expect. Many older people who pay for their care do so independently, without any contact with the local authority or health services. Our ‘co-researchers’ have taken part in the planning of the research at a local level, helped conduct the interviews, assisted in analysing the data, and taken part in dissemination of the results Their help has been invaluable in keeping us grounded in lived experience. Key to our work has been the help of over 30 ‘co-researchers’, each of whom is an older person recruited locally and with direct experience of giving and/or receiving care. The project is due to conclude in the summer of 2020. Approximately 75 older people, and approximately 50 family members and 50 providers of professional care have been interviewed. In order to understand this growing trend, researchers from the University of Brighton (lead site), the University of Birmingham and the University of Lincoln have tried to capture for the first time the voices of older people who pay for their own care and those of their families and local care organisations. As well as, or instead of this, a great deal of help is given informally and for free by family members, friends and neighbours, and many of these care-givers are themselves older people. The most common forms of help include dressing, personal care, meals and medication. It is hard to say just how many people pay for their own care as many of those who do so contract directly with a private care agency to provide either care at home or in a residential setting. It is expensive, and some people who require residential care find they have to sell their own homes to pay for it. While medical care provided by the NHS is free at the point of use, a great deal of social care is paid for privately. While the fact that people now expect to live longer than ever before is to be celebrated, it brings challenges as well as opportunities.
