The final in a series of four discussion papers on housing and support for disabled people and older people who are in need of support. The series aimed to encourage debate about the over reliance on residential care and support more serious consideration of alternative options of housing support. The paper draws out six policy and practice recommendations from the previous papers, which include: the need to address the lack of evidence on the cost effectiveness of different models in order to inform effective commissioning; a review of registered care regulations to consider how to increase people’s rights and control in models of housing and support; the provision of independent advocacy to people considering a move into residential care; and the provision of resources and training for commissioners and providers to equip them with a better understanding of different housing and support options. In its conclusion, the paper highlights two core related issues of the lack of robust evidence about the cost effectiveness of different housing and support options, which can result in commissioners and providers making decisions based on the belief that some models are more or less effective than others.
