| Annotation | The Royal Commission on Long Term Care was appointed in December 1997 to consider the short and long term options for the funding of long term care for older people, both in their own homes and in other settings, and how the costs of such care should be shared between public funds and individuals. This second volume (of three) of research undertaken for the Commission looks at alternative models of care for older people in the community, in terms of feasibility, acceptability to users and carers, and outcomes and costs: intensive home support; co-resident care; very sheltered housing; and assistive technology. A number of hypothetical cases are presented, which form the basis for costings of various packages of care services for older people in their own homes. The appendices contain the following: Focus groups: discussions with older people and their carers; The role of supported accommodation; Housing and housing organisations: a review of their contribution to alternative models of care for elderly people; The role of assistive technology in alternative models of care for elderly people.
