Explores the diversity of social care provision for older people in six European states. Discusses diversity in relation to general models of welfare and the relevance of social care provision to the emerging risk of social exclusion in Europe's ageing societies. Analyses the main features of care in each country, and significant differences and similarities between them, through case studies. Concludes by considering the utility of the concept of social exclusion in evaluating social care provision.
