Based on a re-analysis of the Disability Survey carried out by OPCS in 1988, produces estimates of the relative and absolute risk of admission to institutional care, as this relates to the physical and social state of disabled elderly people living at home. The estimates are developed into a model which can be used by those responsible for planning or purchasing services to estimate the number of elderly people in a given population who are likely to enter institutional care in any one year. The model produces quantitative estimates of the risk factors for admission; it involves applying patterns identified at a national level to any particular, real population at local level.

Background: Aged residential care (ARC) is a significant cost of dementia care. However, little is known about the predictors of ARC placement in New Zealand (NZ), which is important for service planning and funding. The aim of this study was to investigate the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics that predict future ARC placement among people who received a new diagnosis of dementia at a NZ memory service. Methods: Routinely collected baseline sociodemographic and clinical data in a memory service from 14/06/13 and 14/12/19 were linked with administrative LTC admission data up to 24/1/2020. Survival analysis was carried out using multivariate Cox regression models to determine significant risk factors and their association with ARC placement. Results: A total of 657 NZ European, Māori and Pacific Islander patients were included in the analyses. There were significant differences by ethnicity including age, living situation, comorbidity and ARC placement. Adjusted analyses showed that risk of ARC placement was increased by older age (HR 1.02 per year, 95%CI:1.00–1.05), moderate dementia (HR 1.45, 95%CI:1.05–1.99), severe dementia (HR 2.25, 95%CI:1.33–3.81), and antipsychotics (HR 1.55, 95%CI:1.04–2.32); while risk was reduced in Māori (HR 0.35, 95%CI:0.18–0.68) and Pacific Islanders (HR 0.32, 95%CI:0.20–0.51). Conclusions: Despite having more severe dementia and higher comorbidity, Māori and Pacific Islanders had reduced risks of ARC placement. There is an urgent need to better understand dementia care issues and to ensure culturally safe and responsive dementia services are accessible by Māori and Pacific Islanders living in the community.

An analysis of current trends in the demand for new care home development in the UK. It shows that demand is expected to improve going forward, driven by strong growth prospects in the UK's population of over 65s and as current stock approaches obsolescence. The analysis reveals that more than half of the 12 counties in England and Wales with the highest prospects of development are located in the UK's southern regions, with Greater London climbing to the top spot. The Scotland Hotspots analysis reveals that Highlands and Islands has replaced Borders as the top ranked county for care home development. (Edited publisher abstract)

Tools used for assessing the needs of older people have been widely criticised. Researchers from the University of Bristol recently piloted a comprehensive assessment tool designed to provide a holistic assessment of health and social care needs. Pioneered in the United States, it is now used in many other countries and could provide the basis for a national standardised system for the UK. Discusses the results of the pilot.

The proceedings are an important record of the conference participants concern to identify the issues, which must be addressed if significant improvements in the quality of life of people with dementia in Ireland are to be achieved in the years ahead. A strong feeling among conference participants was that care management could be an effective integrating mechanism in the care of people with dementia, because of its potential to bring together the various elements of primary and secondary care services.
