Calculating a fair market price for care: A toolkit for residential and nursing homes (3rd edition) (17th September 2008)
Updated study to calculate reasonable fees, based on the operating costs of efficient care homes for older people in England. The demands resulting from an ageing population means that more care homes will be needed in the future. However, most public sector funding agencies do not currently offer fees that are sufficient to encourage care home operators to invest in new capacity for state-funded clients. Calculating a fair market price for care offers a transparent and evidence-based mechanism for working out what such fees should be, based on the costs borne by care homes in the financial year 2008/09. Updates for the third edition include: A new and simplified approach to working out ‘floor’ and ‘ceiling’ fair fees; New staff input and other cost benchmarks derived from a survey of major corporate operators of care homes in 2008; and A downward revision in the target rate of return on capital from 13% to 12%.

What future for care? (18th September 2008)
Care is a contentious policy concept. Numbers of people needing care are rising. Radical change is planned for care policy to increase choice and control through ‘personalisation’. A new conceptual framework is now needed to take forward policy and practice for the twentyfirst century if people’s rights and needs are to be met.

Does anyone care about fairness in adult social care? (25th September 2008)
This Viewpoint reviews some of the key proposals in adult social care of the last ten years from an equity perspective. It uses the analysis to argue that we can develop practical policies that are informed by clearly stated equity principles which serve to ensure that the most disadvantaged groups of people are treated more fairly.
