Annotation	There have always been occasions in which residential and nursing homes have closed, and residents have had to move into new accommodation. In recent years there is evidence that home closure is becoming more common. The decision to close a home is likely to be an emotionally charged process and it is important that the disruption and distress to residents affected be minimised. This paper offers guidance on 'good practice' based on evidence from a number of studies of involuntary relocation in this country and elsewhere. (KJ).
