Private Residential Care: The Admission Process and Reactions of the Public SectorIn this study, Judith Phillips provides a description and understanding of the private sector of residential care for the elderly at the point of admission. She explains the operation of supply and demand for private residential care, which sheds light on the place of the private sector in the caring system and why some elderly enter private rather than local authority homes. The book highlights social worker attitudes to their role in the private sector and provides a consumers' view of private residential care. |
