Supporting care transitions for older people
Care transitions in later life are challenging for older people and their carers. Social care practitioners, including social workers and other professionals, play a significant role in supporting these transitions, such as hospital discharges to care homes and moves between settings, but often face difficulties in providing effective support. This qualitative study explores the challenges experienced by older people, their carers and social care…
Incentives and Deterrents to the Supply of Long-term Care for the Elderly in England
This article reports on a study assessing the incentives and deterrents to long-term care (LTC) supply in two local markets in England. The supply of LTC in many countries is facing the issues of rising demand, (lack of) workforce and the interaction of the public and private sectors. Findings from qualitative interviews of local council and provider stakeholders exploring barriers and enablers faced by LTC providers in two local authorities (LAs…
Extra Care Housing
Extra care housing aims to meet the housing, care and support needs of older people, while maintaining their independence in self-contained accommodation. Evidence from several studies suggests that it has benefits for residents in terms of costs and outcomes, and can provide a supportive environment for people with dementia, although the benefits for residents with greater care needs are less clear. Budgetary pressures and increasing eligibility…
Ageing in extra-care housing
Extra-care housing (ECH) has been hailed as a potential solution to some of the problems associated with traditional forms of social care, since it allows older people to live independently, while also having access to care and support if required. However, little longitudinal research has focused on the experiences of residents living in ECH, particularly in recent years. This paper reports on a longitudinal study of four ECH schemes in the Unit…
Reflections on Cross-Cultural Comparison of the Impact of Housing Modification/Adaptation* for Supporting Older People at Home
Home modification or adaptation is an important global issue, especially for older people living with disabilities in ordinary housing of varying ages, and pre-dating concerns about accessibility in design. Comparisons of research from five developed nations identify common themes: variation in integrated service development; public and private financial investment; deferred health costs; workforce expansion and training; and the value of the use…
Cross-Cultural Comparison of the Impact of Housing Modification/Adaptation for Supporting Older People at Home
Foreword to Special Issue of Journal of Aging and Environment The desire of older people to age in place and government policies intended to support people living in their own homes suggests that future-proofing this environment is fundamental to improving person-environment congruence at a time of global aging. The UK-initiated genHOME network, founded by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists, promoted the health and well-being of older a…
The challenges of integrating housing and care for older people
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
You have got to stick to your times’
Extra care housing (ECH) has been lauded as an innovative model of housing with care for older people that promotes and supports independent living. The study used a qualitative design to explore how care is delivered in four extra care settings in England over 20 months during 2016-2017. This paper reports findings from semi-structured interviews with 20 care workers and seven managers. The article argues that, despite being heralded as a new mo…
Outcomes-based commissioning for social care in extra care housing
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the process of commissioning adult social care services in England. It reflects the literature on commissioning at the strategic level followed by a section on operational or micro-commissioning. The rest of the paper focusses on the emergence of ideas about outcomes-based commissioning (OBC) in the field of adult social care and ends with critical consideration of the effectiveness o…

Creating the asset base – a review of literature and policy on housing with care
Purpose – Appropriate housing for the growing population of older adults is becoming an international concern. The purpose of this paper is to report on a review of UK and international literature carried out as part of a project exploring the commissioning and delivery of social care in housing with care settings. The paper also considers housing with care in the context of UK policy and practice. Design/methodology/approach – The peer literatur…
The relationship between building design and residents’ quality of life in extra care housing schemes
Deciding to move into extra care housing
Extra care housing aims to meet the housing, care and support needs of older people, while helping them to maintain their independence in their own private accommodation. In 2003, the Department of Health announced capital funding to support the development of extra care housing, and made the receipt of funding conditional on participating in an evaluative study. Drawing on information collected directly from residents in 19 schemes, this paper p…
Does the design of extra-care housing meet the needs of the residents? A focus group study
The study objective was to explore the views of residents and relatives concerning the physical design of extra-care housing. Five focus groups were conducted with residents in four extra-care schemes in England. One focus group was carried out with relatives of residents from a fifth scheme. Schemes were purposively sampled to represent size, type, and resident tenure. Data were analysed thematically using NVivo 8. Two over-arching themes emerge…
Improving housing with care choices for older people
Purpose This paper describes an evaluation of 19 extra care schemes allocated funding from the Extra Care Housing Fund. Design/methodology/approach Interviewers collected information about the expectations and experiences of 1,182 new residents, and demographic and care needs information for those who received a care assessment (817 individuals) to correspond to previous surveys of care homes. Follow‐up information was collected at six, 18 and 30…
The characteristics of residents in extra care housing and care homes in England
Extra care housing aims to meet the housing, care and support needs of older people, while helping them to maintain their independence in their own private accommodation. It has been viewed as a possible alternative, or even a replacement for residential care. In 2003, the Department of Health announced capital funding to support the development of extra care housing and made the receipt of funding conditional on participating in an evaluative st…
Evolve
EVOLVE is a tool for evaluating the design of housing for older people. It is used to assess how well a building contributes to the physical support and personal well-being of older people. Developed from research into extra care housing, it can be used for a variety of building types, including sheltered housing and individual private houses. The tool can be used by architects, housing providers, commissioners, researchers and individual tenants…
Slicing Up the Pie
The allocation of central government funds is a critical element in the equitable provision of local authority-commissioned and -provided services. A variety of approaches to allocating funding for social services for older people have been used over the years, most recently founded on ‘needs-based’ formulae. In 2004, the Department of Health for England commissioned research to help inform the improvement and updating of the formula. The results…
Changes in the provision of long-stay care, 1970-1990
The objective of this paper is to map out the changes in the public, private and voluntary provision of long-stay care for elderly people and younger people with a physical handicap, people with a mental handicap and people with a mental illness in Britain over the period 1970–1990. It is also designed to bring together in a convenient form all the relevant data which are not readily available because they are published in several disparate sourc…
Care-home closures in England
In the United Kingdom, as in many other developed countries, there is an established market in the provision of long-term care-homes for older people. Implicit in the market mechanism is the assumption that homes will close, but it was not until 1999–2000 that closures of care-homes received widespread public attention. This paper draws on a multi-method study that investigated home closures in England from several perspectives. The rate of home …
What types of home are closing? The characteristics of homes which closed between 1996 and 2001
Closures of care homes have received considerable public attention. Fee levels and the cost of upgrading homes to meet the national minimum standards have been identified as the main factors influencing closures. The present paper compares private residential homes, dual-registered homes and nursing homes for older people which have closed between 1996 and 2001 with homes which have remained open. Homes which closed tended to be: smaller; to have…
The Effect of Financial Incentives and Access to Services on Self‐funded Admissions to Long‐term Care
With the growth in the numbers and proportion of older people in the population the funding and incentive structures around long‐term care are of international concern. A study of the circumstances of self‐funded admissions to care homes allowed the comparison of self‐funders with publicly funded admissions to care homes in the UK, the influences on self‐funders in their decision to move into a care home and resources on which they were able to d…
Care management arrangements for older people in England
Care management has become a key component in the development of community-based care in many countries, and this paper examines the different care management arrangements for older people's services that are now emerging. It has been United Kingdom government policy since 1989 that the providers of social services develop care management systems, as confirmed in the White Paper, Modernising Social Services . The paper opens with the background t…
Residential or nursing home care? The appropriateness of placement decisions
Routinely-collected statistics show considerable variation between local authorities in Great Britain, in the proportions of supported residents placed in nursing and residential care. This raises the question of whether this is due to variations in demand (the type of resident approaching authorities), supply (the level and type of provision available for local authorities to purchase), or policy (in terms of eligibility criteria or interpretati…
Emerging Patterns of Care Management
One of the key objectives of the community care legislation, implemented in the UK in 1993, was the development of care management systems. Subsequent studies based on limited samples of local authorities have indicated that there is much variation in the forms and types of arrangements being developed. This paper explores whether typologies of care management arrangements for older people can be discerned through the analysis of a series of key …
Relying on informal care in the new century? Informal care for elderly people in England to 2031
The research reported here is concerned with the future of informal care over the next thirty years and the effect of changes in informal care on demand for formal services. The research draws on a PSSRU computer simulation model which has produced projections to 2031 for long-term care for England. The latest Government Actuary's Department (GAD) 1996-based marital status projections are used here. These projections yield unexpected results in t…

The Cost of Residential Care for the Elderly
Despite the important role played by cost considerations in policy decisions regarding services for the elderly there has been relatively little reliable research on this topic. A large nationally representative survey of old people's homes conducted by the Personal Social Services Research Unit in England and Wales in 1981 provides a firm foundation for the careful examination of the cost of residential care. Focusing on residential homes in the…
