Care Quality Commission (CQC); 2020.
https://www.cqc.org.uk/publications/surveys/community-mental-health-survey-2020
Findings of this report include people consistently reporting poor experiences of NHS community mental health services, with few positive results. For example, poor experiences were reported for crisis care, accessing care, and involvement.
There are few results where the majority of people reported good experiences of mental health care. However, ‘organising care’ is an area where people were found to be more positive:
-97% of people who have been told who is in charge of organising their care and services said they knew how to contact this person if they had a concern
-91% said the person that organised their care did so ‘very well’ (58%) or ‘quite well’ (33%)
-73% reported that they were ‘always’ treated with dignity and respect (CQC)
This report looks at the life events and circumstances that can affect people’s mental health in later life, including bereavement, loneliness, ill health and caring responsibilities. Focusing mainly on anxiety and depression, the report also describes people’s mixed experiences of seeking support from GPs, therapists and other services. It highlights the common barriers and makes recommendations for what needs to change to improve support for older people and ensure they can live a mentally healthy later life.
