Preferences for Models of Care for Older People With High Care Needs: Survey of People Aged 50 years and Over in England.

Walbaum M. Health and Social Care in the Community 2026;Jan(1):9635386.

The rising number of older adults, many with long-term conditions or limitations in activities of daily living, is expected to increase demand for social care services and for housing options to accommodate their future care needs. Additionally, an increasingly diverse population may require care models that respond to different preferences, beliefs and values. This study aims to explore how preferences to meet future care needs vary across demographic, socioeconomic and care-related factors.

Futureproofing community children’s nursing

This guidance is for health care professionals, service providers and those involved with planning and commissioning services. It sets out the RCN’s perspective on contemporary and future children and young people’s nursing services in the home and community setting. It also underlines the increasingly crucial role played by community children’s nurses as they provide integrated care closer to home. It explores the legislative and policy agenda, defines the role of the children’s community nurse (CCN), sets out the core principles of providing care, considers variations in how the needs of families are assessed across the four countries of the UK and outlines examples of current models of care and service delivery.
