In the UK, one of the effects of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 has been to highlight the impact of policy changes and changes to service organisation upon the types and levels of service provision. However, much of the existing literature on the use of community and long-term care services by people with dementia is based upon data collected prior to the implementation of the Act. The article identifies some of the methodological issues and highlights the increasing importance that is likely to be attached to incorporating the service preferences of people with dementia and their carers in the future.

During the last decades of the 20th century, many psychiatric hospitals changed the living environments of their clients with long-term psychiatric disabilities. Investigates the effect of this environmental psychiatric rehabilitation and normalization process on the activity and participation level of such clients residing in one Dutch psychiatric hospital. The seven years of panel research demonstrated that more normal living environments have a positive effect on clients' activity and participation level. This is controlled for the fact that younger clients, and clients with a relative high activity and participation level were selected for these normal living environments.

Collection of essays exploring the history of disparagement and neglect of residential care and challenging the conventional wisdom of anti-institutionalisation. Provides a critical analysis of the theoretical basis and practical consequences of the literature of dysfunction. Draws from research evidence from the United States, United Kingdom and Europe and concludes that the impact of this literature owes more to eloquent rhetoric than to reliable reasoning, more in political pragmatism aimed at cutting cost than to practical policies aimed at caring for people.

Commentaries on Greg Wilkinson, et al. (BJP, July 1995). One argues that the paper demonstrates the difficulties associated with trying to evaluate a service where there is no available comparator. Concludes that the Buckingham Mental Health Service remains of extreme interest and that its unique way of delivering services should be evaluated. The second calls for a better designed evaluation of an integrated community-based service with a traditional hospital based service for comparison.
