New service models such as intermediate care may find it difficult to involve older people in services that are time-limited and unfamiliar. Their staff may perceive themselves as having little time to sustain or build relationships with voluntary and community-based organisations engaged in intermediate care. This article shows how such challenges can be met by drawing on the experiences of voluntary sector projects involved in intermediate care services. The article focuses on practitioners' experiences of involving older people in intermediate care assessment and treatment and, secondly on the views of older people about the information they received.

Considers the lessons learnt from Help the Aged's intermediate care programme for older people. Describes the programme and lists partner projects. Gives a case study of voluntary sector care management. The voluntary sector has some way to go before it is taken seriously as a genuine partner. A key message is the need to secure joint financing of any pilot project from day one.

Draws on ethnographic research which tracked older people's journeys through the health and social care system, highlighting some of the key issues which will need to be addressed if the new single assessment process is to become user and carer-friendly. Argues that the concept of the 'whole system' is a misnomer, and a more accurate picture is that of a world at war, with territorial disputes rife and border controls tighter than ever. Suggests that too much emphasis has been placed on IT systems and paperwork and that the real challenge is to cut through the jargon of modernisation and to see things from a wholly different perspective.
