This paper reports on the impact that changes in assumptions about household composition, housing tenure and the balance of domiciliary to institutional care could have on the future numbers of older people in care homes. It uses the PSSRU model, a macrosimulation model which makes projections of demand for long-term care for older people. A series of scenarios regarding changes in household composition, tenure, and balance of care were developed for this project, and their impact compared to that of scenarios previously investigated about variant population projections, marital status and rises in the real costs of care. The results show the impact of the scenarios in terms of the distribution between public and privately funded residents in care homes, projected numbers of recipients of local authority funded home care, total expenditure on long-term care and workforce requirements for care homes. The analyses suggest that projections of future demand for residential care are very sensitive to assumptions regarding the rate of change in the probability of entering residential care. This is also likely to impact significantly on the distribution of funding of residential care between public versus private spending. The rate of change in the probability of entering residential care is also likely to have a significant impact on the future demand for workers employed in care homes.

Councils spend nearly £8 billion each year on residential care and home care, which is over 70% of all their expenditure on adult care services. In November 2009, all 152 councils in England provided the Care Quality Commission (CQC) with data on the number of their residents for whom they purchased care in care homes in the period April to September 2009. This report links the data supplied to data on quality ratings for each care home. In addition, the councils reported to CQC in November 2009 on 317,000 adults for whom they had arranged home care with registered agencies in a week in the 6 months to 30 September 2009. The report provides a detailed analysis of the findings of these council returns. The data shows some variation in the quality of services purchased by councils. Councils purchased care for 230,000 adults in care homes. Eighty-six percent of these adults were living in care homes rated good or excellent. The percentage was lower (82%) for those in homes offering nursing care for older people. Ninety-three percent of adults whose home care was arranged or purchased by their council received a service from a home care agency rated good or excellent. Comparisons of the quality of care arranged by councils between September 2008 and September 2009 show that the percentage of people receiving care from services rated good or excellent has improved for both care homes and home care.

The increased services for the elderly in Japan announced in the revised Gold Plan in 1994 are expected to present numerous issues and problems, particularly in the rural areas of Japan. This is due to unique circumstances such as depopulation and the presence of a disproportionately large number of elderly; geographical and physical isolation; a conservative and tradition-bound political climate; and conservative attitudes of the elderly. This article examines the current state of policy implementation, identifying issues and problems that are being encountered in the rural areas of Japan. Looks at issues such as economic and family life, health care, and service delivery for the elderly.
