Annotation	A new paradigm for continuing care policy in Canada has emerged, based on assumptions about the benefits of caring partnerships and client-centred care delivery - that is, between formal and informal care. The authors describe how existing research could contribute to the debate on care policy. They suggest three categories of key policy issues: the need to clarify concepts such as the costs of eldercare; the nature of caring partnerships; and client-centred research which focuses on issues such as consumer satisfaction. Improving research policy links is essential for developing evidence-based policy.
