Is there consensus on the placement of older adults?
In implementing Caring for People, local authorities and health authorities must decide the most appropriate source of provision of long-stay residential care for older adults. A review of the planning and funding arrangements introduced by Caring for People was conducted, referenced by professional opinion, to find how far a consensus on the above could be achieved.
