The authors describe the findings of a research project on older people's experiences of intermediate care carried out by Help the Aged. The programme operated in seven sites across England and piloted different ways of including volunteers and the voluntary sector in NHS and social services intermediate care. The authors suggests the forthcoming white paper on care outside hospital will need to address how more intensive short-term support, such as that provided by intermediate care, can be cushioned by a tier of low-level continuous voluntary sector support which guarantees older people "someone to expect each day".

.Intermediate care is emerging as performing a significant function in bridging the care gap between hospital and home. However it does not emerge from a policy or service background. Relationships between health and social care services and the voluntary sector have their roots in past policies and practice agendas. This study indicates that any partnership will inevitable encounter challenges associated with multidisciplinary and intraprofessional collaborations.
