This article reports on the process of carrying out a randomised controlled trial of different models of day care for older people. The trial compared the outcomes of rehabilitation in a day hospital setting with social services day centres supplemented by visiting therapists. Focuses principally on the difficulties and opportunities encountered in the process of attempting to integrate health and social care provision in a day care setting. The day centre model had several problems, principally discharge policy, acceptability, facilities and attitudes of staff and regular attendees. Positive aspects of the day centre model, as well as successful rehabilitation, included shared skills, knowledge and resources. This article suggests that collaborative working in day centres requires multipurpose facilities.
