Intermediate care is a core element of the Government’s programme for improving services for older people. A King’s Fund report 1 has defined intermediate care as: “Those services which will help to divert admission to an acute care setting through timely therapeutic interventions which aim to divert a physiological crisis or offer recuperative services at or near a person’s own home.” Ideally lasting no longer than a period of 6 weeks, an intermediate care episode can encompass a range of services including: rapid response, hospital at home, residential rehabilitation, supported discharge and day rehabilitation. Delivery of intermediate care has evolved and changed since its inception, for example, there is now more focus on: people with dementia and mental health problems; people who are homeless; and extra care housing - this model has an important part to play as a setting for intermediate care particularly for people with dementia. Such broadening of the intermediate care model is necessary since evidence suggests that the six week model outlined in the original guidance is insufficient in many instances, for example frail older people.
