Intermediate care has become a buzzword within health and social
care over the last few years. Seen as the panacea for a number of
woes, particularly for older people, intermediate care has been
held up as a way forward within contemporary health and social
care.
This text explores in detail what is understood by the concept
of intermediate care and, in particular, ways in which the needs of
older people can be best met by this new range of services. Initial
discussion centres on the concept of intermediate care and the
motives for its development. This is followed by a summary of the
range of intermediate care services that have been developed, with
a discussion of some of the confusion that surrounds the
concept.
The debate then moves on to centre on older people, discussing
first why older people have come to be perceived as one of the main
client groups that may benefit from intermediate care, and then how
intermediate care could be developed to better serve their needs.
An overview of ageing and the uniqueness of older people is then
provided, followed by an exploration of some of the challenges
faced by older people within society - and how this has extended
into the delivery of health and social care.
