| Annotation | In this report the authors show how there is no single model of housing with care (HWC). Schemes vary enormously in size and scale, location, services and cost. They are run by private companies and not-for-profit housing associations and charities. Also there are significant variations in provision and policy context across the UK. Since residents' quality of life can be affected by the way in which these organisations work together, clarity over boundaries, roles and responsibilities is crucial. Among the main research questions the authors address are: What are the boundaries or fault lines of roles and responsibilities in HWC? What are the impacts on quality of life for older residents with or without high support needs? Can a rights-based approach to services empower residents? How is quality of life affected by different expectations between residents, family, staff, providers, commissioners and other stakeholders? (RH). |
