Considers the implications of the move towards a mixed economy of care for the management of residential services for elderly people by SSDs, concentrating on four particular areas: the organisational forms for the ownership of residential services for the elderly, the provision of the relevant managerial skills within the SSD, quality assurance, and safeguarding existing users of residential accommodation from financial hardship. A study of four SSDs identified as being at the forefront of service provision identified four different organisational models - transferring some existing residential services to a charitable trust, establishment of an Employee Shared Ownership Plan, transferring the entire stock to a not-for-profit agency, part-transfer to a Housing Association and a private company whilst retaining some direct provision. A similar range of approaches to the management of service provision and to service quality (one SSD considering the use of BS 5750), suggest that a key issue to be resolved by local authorities is the balance between a competitive market for service provision and continuity of service.
