This article explores whether typologies of care management arrangements for older people can be discerned through the analysis of a series of key indicators. Data were drawn from a survey of all English local authorities, undertaken as part of the PSSRU study 'Mapping and Evaluation of Care Management Arrangements for Older People and those with Mental Health Problems'. Care management arrangements were categorised using a limited number of key indicators chosen on an empirical and an a priori basis. This resulted in the formulation of six categories of care management arrangements of older people, within which approximately 80 per cent of local authorities could be included.

Reviews literature on unmet need among older people. Begins by surveying commonly overlooked needs identified by older people, and reasons why older people may resist support or help, and then describes studies which examine the processes by which social services departments identify and respond to the needs of older people. The final section suggests a number of alternative strategies for identifying unmet needs.
