  • Intermediate care is the term used for the range of short-term, patient-focused services designed to promote and maintain the independence of older people otherwise facing inappropriate admission to hospital, long-term care or prolonged stays in hospitals. This new and evolving concept has attracted widespread interest. Practitioners are at many different stages of development, but ideas such as supported discharge, rapid response and day rehabilitation are gaining ground as ways of helping growing numbers of older people bridge the transition between hospital and home. This guide is a comprehensive, one-stop-shop resource for commissioners and providers seeking to translate policy into a workable set of linked services. It unpicks government policy and directives; reviews the evidence and the issues; offers a wealth of practical case studies and examples; makes extensive reference to key documents and resources; and offers a step-by-step approach to planning, managing and evaluating services.
