The Shared Care Option Placements for Elderly People team, in Lewisham, which provides short- and long-term residential placements for elderly people has just completed a six-month pilot project, aimed at offering black elders and elderly people suffering from mental ill-health a flexible alternative to the more traditional day care services. The scheme involves people being cared for in carers' own homes; an approach which is viewed as having much to offer black elders in particular, as they may be reluctant to enter an all-white environment. Looks at this alternative to day centres.

The objective of this study was to determine how the entry into long term care of people assessed by their local social services department (SSD) under the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 is predicted by the severity of their cognitive impairment, care provided by family members, and the receipt of community care services. The main outcome measure was survival analysis of time taken from referral to entering long term care at follow-up. Analysis of the interaction between three main effects predicting entry to long term care (severity of cognitive impairment, access to a carer, and the receipt of home care or day care) suggests that while carers are central in determining whether older people with cognitive impairment are able to remain living in the community, there are limits to the care they can provide.

A reduction in the role of local government as the primary provider of health and social services, including community care throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s has been matched by increasing support for the informal, voluntary and private sectors. The shift of responsibility from public to private has been promoted through a movement towards a mixed economy of care, which advocates increased quality and choice for users, as defined by users. The author's study looks at how three user groups - people with physical disabilities, people with mental health problems, and people with learning difficulties are being encouraged to have a voice in service planning and delivery of services across three local authority areas in the West Midlands.
