Abstract
This paper analyses 1,375 long‐term care placements approved by a London borough through a multi‐disciplinary ‘panel’. It suggests the need for increased attention to rehabilitation and to the capacity of residential homes to deal with cognitive disorder, and concludes that attainment of the new national standards for care homes will require improvements in the process of admission.
