Future Care

Preparation for one's death (e.g., having signed a will, having made preparations for one's funeral) and preparation for future care needs (e.g., having selected a source of support) were investigated in 593 United States and 582 German independently living seniors. The older adults reported higher levels of preparation for death than preparation for care. The lower level of preparation for care is interpreted as reflecting the uncertainty whether care needs will emerge in the future. Seniors who reported some preparation for death were more likely to report preparation for future care needs as well. Older, more educated, and more religious individuals were more likely to prepare for death. In addition, U.S. seniors were more likely to report some death preparation than German seniors. Limitations in activities of daily living did not predict levels of preparation for death. Implications for future research and for psychosocial interventions are discussed.

Intangible Benefit

The Care Programme Approach was a valiant attempt to improve the aftercare of people with severe mental illness after discharge from hospital. It was introduced as a response to a scandal, not an advance in knowledge, and has always suffered by being a reaction to events rather than a trailblazer for the future. It may have dragged the worst of care upwards, but at the expense of creating a bureaucratic monstrosity that has hindered good practice by excessive attention to risk, and vastly increased paperwork with intangible benefit. It needs to be simplified to allow practitioners greater scope for collaborative solutions, less minatory oversight and better use of strained resources.Declaration of interestNone.
