This unique evaluation of the outcomes of residential and nursing home care for older people identifies the factors determining the quality of life of older people who have moved into care homes. It examines the relationship between older people's psychological well-being and the kinds of care received in residential homes. The volume draws on a study of UK care homes, interviewing new entrants soon after admission and then on two further occasions, to ascertain their experience of care and their quality of life. Interviews were also undertaken with care staff and their managers, and the care environment of each home was assessed. The authors provide valuable evidence of the factors which can influence older people's well-being on entering a care home and how they adjust either positively or not to their new surroundings. The volume offers clear pointers towards ways to improve quality of residential and nursing home care.

As more people live longer, the need for quality long-term care for the elderly will increase dramatically. This volume examines the current system of nursing home regulations, and proposes an overhaul to better provide for those confined to such facilities. It determines the need for regulations, and concludes that the present regulatory system is inadequate, stating that what is needed is not more regulation, but better regulation. This long-anticipated study provides a wealth of useful background information, in-depth study, and discussion for nursing home administrators, students, and teachers in the health care field; professionals involved in caring for the elderly; and geriatric specialists.

Among the issues confronting America is long-term care for frail, older persons and others with chronic conditions and functional limitations that limit their ability to care for themselves. Improving the Quality of Long-Term Care takes a comprehensive look at the quality of care and quality of life in long-term care, including nursing homes, home health agencies, residential care facilities, family members and a variety of others. This book describes the current state of long-term care, identifying problem areas and offering recommendations for federal and state policymakers. Who uses long-term care? How have the characteristics of this population changed over time? What paths do people follow in long term care? The committee provides the latest information on these and other key questions. This book explores strengths and limitations of available data and research literature especially for settings other than nursing homes, on methods to measure, oversee, and improve the quality of long-term care. The committee makes recommendations on setting and enforcing standards of care, strengthening the caregiving workforce, reimbursement issues, and expanding the knowledge base to guide organizational and individual caregivers in improving the quality of care.

At March 2009, around 9,500 older people had been placed by Health and Social Care Trusts in 490 registered residential care and nursing homes. Care within these homes costs over £280 million each year. All residential care and nursing homes for older people must register with the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA), comply with relevant statutory regulations, and are expected to comply with a list of minimum standards developed by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety. Over the three year period 2006-07 to 2008-09, 45 'failure to comply' notices and accompanying quality improvement plans and 10 notices 'imposing additional conditions of registration' were issued to 29 of the 490 registered homes. Currently, social care workers and nursing support staff are not required to be registered or qualified, although many do so voluntarily. Formal registration and qualification of the workforce would be a significant step in enhancing their status and improving the quality of care provided. RQIA's intention to extend the focus of inspections beyond compliance with standards and place more emphasis on assessing quality in terms of service user experiences and outcomes is welcomed. RQIA should bring together information from all available sources to give an overall view of quality of care across all care homes, facilitate the sharing of good practice and inform commissioning decisions. Complaints procedures vary across the Trusts and should improve. Management information about complaints and quality issues in residential care and nursing homes is not collected together in a comprehensive way

Published in 1993. The Increasing numbers of very elderly people in the population and the decreased use of long-stay hospitals are leading to pressure for services in the community for people with dementia. Residential care plays an important role in the care of such people, and developing new, innovative services and monitoring the quality of care in existing institutions are important policy issues. The book describes an investigation into the relationship between the residential care environment and the welfare of residents with senile dementia. Unlike many studies of residential care, the study included aspects of both the physical and social environment and examined the impact on residents over time. The study used some innovative approaches to assessing the impact of the environment of residents and the book describes a model using quantitative techniques to analyse outcomes for residents. The policy issues and provide pointers for specifying standards for the care of residents with senile dementia. The potential for innovative schemes building on the results of the study is discussed, and the concept of ‘informal care homes’ is introduced.
