Routinely-collected statistics show considerable variation between local authorities in Great Britain, in the proportions of supported residents placed in nursing and residential care. This raises the question of whether this is due to variations in demand supply or policy. Data were used from a national longitudinal survey of individuals admitted to publicly-funded residential and nursing home care. This article examines the pattern of admissions, the characteristics of people admitted and the relationship between these characteristics and admissions to residential and nursing home care.
