| Annotation | A study of 12 day care centres and luncheon clubs in London found that in response to changing client characteristics, many of the "clubs" were becoming formalised "centres." These agencies were expanding the number of days and hours of service, providing transportation, hiring professional staff and renovating their premises to accommodate disabled individuals. The managers ascribed these changes to "ageing in place" by the membership of the centres, and to new referrals of increasingly disabled people, who might once have been considered for institutional care. These findings raise issues for providers of community-based services and for case managers who are often the gatekeepers to these services. (KJ/RH). |
