Reforms to the organization and funding of health and social care in the UK have placed new responsibilities on social and health care purchasers to undertake assessment of the accommodation and care needs of people with mental health problems who are living in the community. This responsibility is hampered by a lack of reliable or complete data on the range of services and costs associated with residential care, in particular the non-accommodation or costs which are hidden in the sense that they are often unaccounted for by individual. This article focuses on these 'hidden costs' and describes a survey of residential care for people with mental health problems in eight areas across England and Wales. Describes the methodology adopted in the costing of residential care, presents the findings and then considers the factors that determine the level of hidden costs in different residential settings, sectors or areas.
