What is the impact of day care on older people with long‐term conditions: A systematic review

Abstract

Day care for older people provide opportunities for social contact and social support (Lecovich & Biderman, 2012) and can support health, nutritional and daily living (Anderson et al., 2012). Perceived benefits are associated with improved mental health, socialisation, physical function and quality of life (Orellana, Manthorpe, & Tinker et al., 2018).Day care models are mixed and often involve complex arrangements (Gridley, Brooks, & Glendinning, 2012). Internationally, access to day care may be linked to national insurance schemes for those who require long-term care with services based on either social or medical models (Kuzuya, Masuda, Hirakawa et al., 2006; Tomita, Yoshimura, & Ikegami, 2010). The lack of a standardised definition of day care has meant that effectiveness can be difficult to assess (Fields, Anderson, & Dabelko-Schoeny et al., 2014). The increasing ageing population (UN, 2015), a narrowing of life expectancy gap between men and women (ONS, 2017) and a projected increase in the oldest old (Eurostat, 2017), has resulted in a changing demographic and at the same time wider austerity policy has seen local authority spending on community services for older people reduced (Ismail, Thorlby, & Holder, 2014).LTCs are conditions for which there is no cure, are life long and require ongoing drugs or treatment to be managed (Goodwin

Contextualising English generalist day centres for older people: operational characteristics and typical days. Findings from case study research

“…This perhaps explains the lack of research about cost-effectiveness (Ellen et al, 2017). The present study and Lunt's (2018) were able only to report attendance charges, and even these are not often publicly available (Green et al, 2021). Apart from the Personal Social Services Research Unit's annual Unit Costs work, which covers local authority day care provision (https://www.pssru.ac.uk/project-pages/unit-costs/), only one English study has reported income streams and nancial viability of 12 day centres for people with disabilities while operating as social enterprises (Powell, 2015;Powell et al, 2019).…”

“…Numbers of people living alone are increasing, especially among the oldest old (Kempton & Tomlin, 2014). Many day centre attenders live alone (Lunt, 2018;BLINDED 2020a). People ageing without children, an increasing group (ONS, 2020), felt extremely isolated during the pandemic with the withdrawal of group activities (Collieson, 2021) and face additional disadvantage as much practical support is from adult offspring (Pickard et al, 2007).…”

С 2018 г. в стране реализуется пилотный проект по созданию системы долговре менного ухода, целью которого выступает повышение доступности и улучшение качества ухода для лиц с ограничениями в автономности, что, как показывает зарубежный опыт, может стать фактором снижения заболеваемости и смерт ности в старших возрастах [Choi, Joung, 2016;Lunt, Dowrick, Lloyd-Williams, 2021]. С 2019 г. начато повышение пенсионного возраста и введены меры дополни тельной защиты занятости граждан предпенсионного возраста и содействия в их трудоустройстве.…”

Effect of different patterns of home‐ and community‐based services in Taiwan on the changes in physical function

“…Latent class analyses (LCA) have been popular in recent years to identify subgroups based on estimated posterior membership, such as pattern of HCBS use (Wang et al, 2021). Thus, researchers have recently begun focusing on the impacts and outcomes of HCBS use patterns instead of evaluating effects of single-type HCBS (Han et al, 2021;Igarashi et al, 2017;Jorgensen et al, 2018;Lunt et al, 2020;Rahman et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2021;Yu et al, 2020). Most studies exploring the effects of different patterns of multiple HCBS use, however, have preliminarily focused on nursing home admission (Jorgensen et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2021).…”
