Report looking at whether choice for older people looking at going into residential care has widened and whether people's needs are being dealt with more appropriately now than before the landmark changes that the NHS and Community Care Act 1990 promised to introduce. Looks at older people's experiences in the context of: whose choice; who pays; timings and assessments; and a local authority case study. Makes suggestions for policy improvements, including a regulator for the residential care home industry.
