This paper reports the findings of a longitudinal study of residents living in local authority homes for the elderly. Contrary to prevailing assumptions, the study shows no evidence of a continuing upward trend in levels of dependency within the residential population. Indeed, the incidence of severe dependency among newly admitted residents appears to have fallen. The paper offers a new interpretation of emerging trends and realities in the residential sector based on a careful analysis of the interplay of the forces of continuity and change.
