Annotation	During 1998, many ex-service charities reported that they were facing increasing management and financial strains in the provision of their wide range of accommodation with care. In recognition of urgent action needed, COBSEO appointed a Steering Committee and two project managers to carry out a full Review of Ex-Service Accommodation (RESA). The Committee undertook the review in five phases which are outlined in this report: care homes; short welfare break homes; specialist homes; dementia; and general housing. While the RESA studies were being carried out, other events occurred that have had a significant effect on this final report, e.g the Care Standards Act 2000. The reader is also alerted to COBSEO's 'Way ahead study: final report'. (KJ/RH).
