Privatising residential care for elderly people: The geography of developments in Devon, England

Dreams that lie in tatters: the changing fortunes of nurses who left the British NHS to own and run residential homes for elderly people

“…In many localities, planning controls were also relaxed, providing an opportunity for residential homes to expand or convert other premises. Residential homes were exempt from local property taxes (rates), providing an added incentive to starting such businesses, and declining tourist potential in some coastal regions left a stock of properties suitable for residential care homes ( Phillips & Vincent 1986a, 1988, Andrews & Phillips 1998).

Prospective living arrangement of China's urban elderly and development of an Agent-based Simulation (ABS) model for elderly care needs

“…Early research identified that historical influences and the varying policies of local governments are primary factors for the spatial variation of public facility provision (Andrews & Phillips, 2005). The existing studies on private RACFs suggest that funding changes, management decisions, and local planning influence the location of private RACFs (Phillips & Vincent, 1988). Demographic and socio-economic differentiations across areas influence the distribution of residential aged care facilities.…”
