“…Information services can be offered by an information centre—where families and users can obtain information and guidance—or by care professionals who visit budget holders at home assessing their conditions and providing counselling on how to improve the care process. Furthermore, both information services and case management can be targeted to all beneficiaries of the LTC system, or they can be built into specific programmes only (Hixon, ).…”

The article aims to understand how governments across Europe have modified the regulation of the delivery of cash‐for‐care schemes (CfCs) to dependent older people since the beginning of the century. In our terminology, the regulation of the CfCs delivery defines the norms, rules, and practices that public actors adopt to manage how beneficiaries can use the benefits. To discuss the regulation of CfCs delivery, we employ an original framework that take three analytical dimensions into account: the degrees of freedom in benefits' utilization (“CfCs utilization” dimension), the provision of information/orientation/advices/counselling to older people and families (“professional support” dimension), and the relationship between the delivery of CfCs and the delivery of the other publicly funded long‐term care inputs (“care system” dimension). The analysis adopts a comparative perspective, looking at six countries—Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, France, Germany, and England. Among various findings, the main one consists in showing that there has been a shared and increased interest in consolidating the regulation of CfCs delivery. This trend has been mostly directed towards the new policy aim of strengthening the professional support, a goal underestimated in the past, when this dimension was not a major topic of both debate and practice concerning CfCs across Europe.

“…These efforts have not always been successful but many integration efforts and experiments are going on (e.g. Leichsenring and Alaszewski, 2004;Hixon, 2016). Austerity measures have in many places heightened the earlier tensions between social and health care as both domains are trying to manage under cuts and are retargeting their activities.…”
