| Annotation | The debate on the future of long-term care has included much criticism of the Government for not taking up the recommendations of the Royal Commission in Long-term Care. Two studies funded by the Nuffield Foundation as part of their Older People and Their Families Programme, are reviewed in this article, and examine people's experiences of the current financing of services. The first, "Capital offences: variations in local authority treatment of older home owners entering residential care" (ACIOG, 2000) by Fay Wright, focuses on local authorities' policies and practices, and the consequences for individuals and homeowners. The second, by Gina Bradley and others, "Ethical dilemmas and administrative justice: perceptions of social and legal professionals towards charging for residential and nursing home care", is published by the University of Hull (2000). Both pieces of research demonstrate a lack of clarity in the role of social work care managers (CMs) over financial assessment. (RH). |
