Understanding Food Insecurity as a Determinant of Health in Pregnancy Within the United States
Background: Food insecurity is a major public health concern in the United States, particularly for pregnant and postpartum individuals. In 2020, ∼13.8 million (10.5%) U.S. households experienced food insecurity. However, the association between food security and pregnancy outcomes in the United States is poorly understood. Purpose: The purpose of this review was to critically appraise the state of the evidence related to food insecurity as a det…
Single carers
This chapter reports some of the findings on employment, housework and caring tasks of a small exploratory study of the experience of being a single carer. A sample of twenty-two single sons and thirty-six single daughters was drawn from their parents’ names being on district nursing records in one area health authority. The majority of the carers in the study, 82 per cent of the men and 72 per cent of the women, were below retirement age. Housew…
What Is the 'Extra' in Extra Care Housing
The article discusses key findings from a multidisciplinary study of ten remodelled extra care schemes for older people. It argues that the absence of a clear national definition of ‘extra care’ makes it difficult for older people, their relatives and social workers to dicide whether an extra case scheme is appropriate. Schemes were idiosyncratic. Only a minority provided an optional communal cooked lunch. A common problem was high care staff tur…
Some social consequences of remodelling English sheltered housing and care homes to ‘extra care’
Across the United Kingdom, new build and remodelled ‘extra care’ schemes are being developed in many areas on the assumption that they offer older people with care needs an alternative to residential care. This paper reports an evaluation by a multi-disciplinary team of 10 extra-care schemes remodelled from sheltered housing or residential care units. The evaluation audited buildings and identified social and architectural problems. No two scheme…
Old and Cold
Research, funded by the British Gas Help the Aged Partnership and carried out by the Institute of Gerontology, King's College London, explored the multidimensional issues of fuel poverty. A sample of older homeowners and private renters living in England, Scotland and Wales were interviewed in the Spring of 2003 to explore their experiences of keeping their homes warm in the preceding winter. It was found that almost half of the sample for whom f…
Discrimination against self-funding residents in long-term residential care in England
This paper reports the findings of research funded by The Nuffield Foundation on older people paying the full cost of their long-term residential or nursing home care in England. The research had three stages; a national postal survey directed at the senior finance officer in social services departments, follow-up telephone interviews with a sample of them, and interviews in five case study areas. Those interviewed included social services staff …
Spouse Liability for a Partner’s Long–term Care Costs
Under the 1948 National Assistance Act a husband and a wife are liable to maintain each other and so can be required to contribute towards a spouse’s care home costs. A national postal survey of social services finance officers showed that only a minority of local authorities pursue liable spouses. These authorities have often developed individual policies with widely different treatment of capital and income. Discretion is being exercised in the…
Continuing to Pay
This paper aims to discuss the reasons why caregiving in the community had ended for a sample of dependent older people, two‐thirds of whom had dementia. Comparisons are made between the situation of a spouse caring for a partner and a daughter or son caring for a parent in a separate household. Spouses in the study had often sustained a greater burden before caregiving collapsedthan had daughters or sons. They were less likely, however, to have …

Older couples and long-term care
A minority of older people who move into long-term institutional care are married and have spouses who continue living in the community. The financial complexities and consequences for a couple in this situation deserve to be more widely recognised. Data from the Family Expenditure Survey on the incomes of older married couples are used to examine the financial implications for couples of one spouse entering residential or nursing home care, taki…
Multi-Purpose Residential Homes
The paper reports on a study carried out in 1990 for the Department of Health looking at the development of local authority multi-purpose residential homes for elderly people in England and Wales. A national survey showed that one in five public sector residential homes for elderly people would soon be multi-purpose. This proportion could be expected to increase in the 1990S. Many of these homes had become the centre for virtually all the communi…
