| Annotation | In looking to future directions in residential care in Australia, this paper considers a number of factors that make for stability and others that are likely to see a continuation of present trends before turning to sources of new development. While recent policy measures to integrate nursing homes and hostels have focused attention on higher levels of residential care, the scope for change here is seen to be limited by funding and other constraints. Instead of a return to the continuum view of residential care, a redrawing of the paradigm is proposed that build on initiatives that promote more varied combinations of care and accommodation, more flexible funding arrangements, and more interaction with community care across a range of housing settings. Support for this paradigm of diversification is found in current international developments. (AKM). |
