Quality of life

Why this fact is important:

This measures users' social care-related quality of life

Things to note:

This measure is taken from the Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF), and is published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre. This data is calculated using a combination of responses to the Adult Social Care Survey, which asks how satisfied or dissatisfied users are with indicators of quality of life, such as personal cleanliness and safety. A higher score is better.

Where n/a appears, this indicates that there is no data available for this measure. Where n/a appears across all ASCOF measures for a council, this indicates that the council does not have responsibility for adult social services. To find the council with responsibility for adult social services in your area, please search by your postcode.

This data is taken from Health and Social Care Information Centre for 2013/2014

Further information

This measure gives an overall indication of reported outcomes for individuals: it does not, at present, identify the contribution of a local authority's adult social care services towards these outcomes. Only a sample of users of social care in each authority has been surveyed for this measure. This measure is out of a maximum possible score of 24.

You can read more about the Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework at the ASCOF website.
