Details findings from a study in 1994, undertaken for an MA in Gerontology at Keele, which looked at the experiences of the reforms, for a group of people in a county in the North West of England. It discusses the issues involved in achieving more choice for older people and concludes that in the county studied, client choice appears not to have increased, and in some areas of provision choice has actually decreased.

Purposeful activity, accepted as an important constituent of quality living by many people, has not been well researched in relation to elderly mentally ill people. In a 43-bed nursing home in the north west of England, a small study explored initial patient, relative and staff reactions to a newly introduced part-time activity programme. The results highlighted the importance of a flexible programme of activities, coordinated by an appointed person and providing mental stimulation for the residents. The willingness of staff to become further involved as the programme expands suggests that additional staff training and specific time allocation would be needed.

The people with learning disabilities originating from Westminster, England who were aged over 61 years in 1984 were compared with those in the same age group in 1994. Over the decade there had been a significant change in the nature of the residential provision; the proportion resident in hospitals fell and that in 'community care' increased. There was a significant increase in the proportion assessed as having behaviour problems. A significant number of people were less able to feed themselves. Implications for service provision are discussed.

Examines the change in rates of dependency of older people in light of an ageing population and an increasing emphasise on community rather than institutional care. Reports on the evidence for changing levels of dependency and asks how these changes might help to explain a rise in the unit cost of Personal Social Services over the past decade. Concludes by examining how future trends in dependency levels might be monitored in the future.
