The purpose of this study is to analyze the change of community care in the UK since it was introduced in 1990 and to explore implications for Korea. For a contextual understanding of the change, we looked at the tensions in two aspects of the system. First, we looked at the tension between the individualist element of user choice and the public element of partnership and quality of services to address the negative aspects of competition that appear behind the choice. To this end, we looked at the direct-payment scheme, partnership and service quality control, and the personal budget system. Second, we looked at the changes in the system that is responding to the environment of increasing needs and financial pressures. In this regard, we focused on the Re-ablement services introduced for prevention and recovery, changes in service eligibility standards, and emphasis on asset approach and informal care. The user choice system and the process of addressing the supply side instability behind it appear to be reflected by the formation and change of the personalisation policy, and the emphasis on asset approach and informal care in the environment of financial pressure appears to be being further reflected in the personalisation policy.
