Residency and tenancy-based
options in long-term care for
Older People
A SEMINAR FOR PROVIDERS,
COMMISSIONERS AND REGULATORS
Wednesday 2 December 2015
Norton Park Conference Centre, Edinburgh
How can we design and develop models of care which give people who access care
and support services a greater level of independence and more control over their
environment?
The ‘Report on the Future of Residential Care for Older People in Scotland’ recommended that:
“The Scottish Government, COSLA, CCPS and Scottish Care should ensure that people are able
to access the right type of tenure. For some, particularly within extra-care housing
arrangements, this will mean an opportunity to enter into a tenancy or ownership arrangement;
for others, it may mean a more flexible residency agreement. Further work on developing a
tenancy-based model will benefit from a pilot project and discussion about possible reforms in
regulatory practice.”
The Scottish Government, CCPS, Scottish Care and the Care Inspectorate have come together
to plan a seminar designed to stimulate further thinking about how to move this
recommendation forward.
The seminar will examine how residential provision, both for older people and other care
groups, has developed towards tenancy-based models; and to examine whether these models
can be adopted or adapted by current operators of care homes for older people.
As well as hearing from providers who have already undertaken work in this area, there will
also be inputs from the Care Inspectorate and commissioners in relation to how tenancy-based
models of care could be developed and sustained.
This seminar will provide an opportunity to discuss some of the challenges and opportunities
associated with developing tenancy-based models, particularly in terms of changing existing
forms of care provision such as care homes.
This is an important seminar for helping to shape the future of care provision in
Scotland. We hope to fully engage providers, commissioners and regulators in
establishing what models of care are both appealing and achievable for people who
access services and for those who provide them. It is hoped that the input of
providers and partners at the seminar will help to identify and understand the
enabling factors and the barriers to tenancy-based models of care as a viable future
option for older people’s care.
