| Annotation | Enabling optimal care transitions for older people remains a key challenge facing policy-makers and service providers. This qualitative Australian study aimed to provide a comprehensive picture of the factors or issues surrounding care transitions from the perspective of older people and their carers. It documents how supports and services are searched for and gained during the care transition process and the effect of this process on older people and their families. These findings have implications for service provision and policy relating to both existing older people to age in place wherever possible and facilitating optimal care transitions when they are required. This paper was presented as part of an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded Research Seminar Series 2005/06, "Transitions in Care Homes: Meeting the Demands of the 21st Century" at Surrey, City and Northumbria Universities.
