Re-conceptualising the status of residents in a care home: Older people wanting to ‘live with care’
The construction of a meaningful life depends upon satisfying ‘fundamental human needs’. These are broadly categorised as: physical, social and self-actualisation needs that every human experiences. Some fundamental human needs satisfiers, such as ‘home’, are synergic, addressing more than one need. For an older person, the move to a care home compromises their ontological security (through disruption of identification with place and control over…

Understanding the dynamics of life in care homes for older people: Implications for de-institutionalizing practice
This paper describes some of the findings of a study undertaken to examine the processes of adaptation that older people engage in when moving into care homes, that is nursing and residential homes. In particular, the paper presents data from resident interviews which indicate the importance of the relationships that they develop with each other, and also data from staff focus groups, which indicates that staff have a limited awareness of this. W…
Assessing the Registered Nursing Care Contribution for older people in care homes: Issues of reliability and validity
The present paper reports on a study designed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Registered Nursing Care Contribution (RNCC) tool for assessing the level of nursing care required by care home residents. Care plan data from 186 residents in participating care homes were assessed by multiple assessors using the RNCC tool (i.e. care home registered nurses, a nurse researcher, an external care home expert and a nurses consultant). The…
Specialist services for older people: Issues of negative and positive ageism
This paper reports findings of a study in 2004 of the development of specialist services for older people in the National Health Service (NHS) in England, as recommended in the Department of Health's National Service Framework for Older People (NSF-OP). The study was funded by the Department of Health as part of a programme of research to explore the Framework's implementation. Information was collected through a questionnaire survey about the na…
A literature review to explore integrated care for older people
PURPOSE: This paper reports on some of the findings of a literature review commissioned to explore integrated care for older people. METHODS: The process of revising included finding and selecting literature from multidisciplinary sources, and encompassed both published papers and 'grey' literature, i.e. material which had not been reviewed for publication. RESULTS: The study found that thinking has moved on from a focus on the problems of access…
Appreciating Impact: Evaluating Small Voluntary Organizations in the United Kingdom
Within the mixed economy of care in the United Kingdom there are debates about the ways in which impact can be evaluated, in order to shape funding and policy decisions. One of the tensions evident in this debate is whether the evaluation approach should reflect the perspectives and goals of the voluntary organizations and their members, or whether evaluation should reflect the wider goals of the whole system of provision. The former runs the ris…
Improving communication between hospitals and care homes: The development of a daily living plan for older people
The present study describes a practice development project that produced a user-led daily living plan (DLP), which was developed in partnership with older people, and staff from health and social care settings. The DLP was designed to facilitate communication of the daily living preferences of older people, ensuring that continuity of care and support could be maintained and that their future care can be planned on an individualised basis when th…
Making a move: Care-home residents' experiences of relocation
Studies in environmental gerontology have progressed our understanding of the ways in which older people respond to and manage the environments in which they live, including their decisions about relocation and the influencing factors. Much of this work, however, has been done with relatively healthy and mobile older people living in domestic environments. It is often the case that when care-home residents move, the decisions are taken by others …
Going home from hospital - an appreciative inquiry study
This paper reports on a project that involved a number of agencies and groups, including older people, working together to examine and develop practice in an area of shared concern -- going home from hospital. The project was stimulated by a 'whole-system event', and was based on appreciative inquiry (AI) methodology, which has roots in both action research and organisational development. In AI, the research is directed towards appreciating what …
Settling In and Moving On: Transience and Older People in Care Homes
This paper reports on a study which examined the experiences of 46 older people who moved into nursing and residential care homes, interviewing them at four points, from before the move to up to six months afterwards. A key finding was that older people were actively involved in the process of settling into homes and forming new friendships. Participant data also indicated that these older people had often experienced many moves in recent years, …

Constructing Familiarity and Managing the Self: Ways of Adapting to Life in Nursing and Residential Homes for Older People
This paper reports on the analysis of data collected in a study looking at older people moving into nursing and residential homes. Using life history methodology, participants are interviewed before and after arrival at homes in order to determine the process of adapting to their new environment. Initial data analysis indicates that this process requires extensive social activity on the part of the new resident, involving negotiation of complex s…
