| Annotation | Since it was established in 1993, the Care Homes Information network (CHIN) has provided local authority staff with information about residential homes, nursing homes and other resources for adult client groups located in and around the London area. This paper is one of a series which analyse in detail CHIN's searches for specific client groups, the aim being to identify those groups it is proving most difficult to find appropriate residential and nursing care. Analysis of the search data over the 1997/98 financial year suggests a shortage of care for older mentally ill clients, those suffering with dementia, and confused older people. Placement officers (who include care managers and social workers) continue to face difficulties in finding appropriate residential or nursing care for ethnic minority people in London. (RH). |
