About this title

Synopsis

This report explores, for the first time, the experiences of older people who self-fund their residential or nursing home care. Based on a national survey of English and Welsh local authorities, case studies, and interviews with care home providers, self-funding residents and their relatives, it:shows a wide variation in local authority policies and practices;describes conflicts between local authorities and independent sector care home providers;raises questions about the well-being of frail elderly residents in the current tense market situation;questions the lack of impartial advice for older home owners about the alternatives to care home admission and about the different types of care home.Asset stripping will prove invaluable to Social Service department staff, social work and social policy students, care home providers and organisations campaigning on behalf of older people. It will also be of interest to older people and their relatives.
