This case study describes the system wide approach taken by Powys and its partners to developing a comprehensive understanding of the current and future accommodation based needs of its ageing population. The approach brought together qualitative and quantitative data about its housing and care homes, to inform a system wide strategic approach outlined in their market position statement. The case study explains why the approach was needed, the partners involved and the data collection and analysis. It draws out the lessons learnt and concludes with recommendations for other local authorities as they develop a similar strategic approach. (Edited publisher abstract)

A toolkit to help commissioners and providers of residential and nursing care for older people to reach agreement on the cost of care and fee levels in their local area. The work has been carried out for the Welsh Government, and aims to provide an approach that will help provide a sustainable cost model for care homes in Wales. The toolkit covers the following key steps for agreeing a price: Step 1: Agree what you need to agree, who needs to agree it, what information do you need and how will you agree; Step 2: Gather the data and intelligence; Step 3: decision making. The toolkit draws on methodologies used in Wales and elsewhere in the UK. It is also based on engagement which took place with health board and local authority commissioners, providers and other stakeholder representatives at a series of events and workshops.
