Boundaries of roles and responsibilities in housing with care schemes

• Contested roles and responsibilities in HWC concern issues around: – decisions to move in and allocations (and the different perspectives of older people, their families and external agencies, especially those with nomination rights); – the different expectations residents, families, providers and professionals have of HWC; – buildings and facilities provision, management and maintenance, health and safety; – promoting well-being and preventing exclusion of frailer residents; – safeguarding and duty of care; – managing increasing care and support needs; – whether HWC offers a ‘home for life’.
