Abstract
Does not offer a detailed and immutable set of standards for all aspects of residential homes provision, rather a way of thinking about standards for homes and their management, some clarification of the differences between standards for management, standards for care and a good quality of life, and a complication of the standards developed by SSI in recent years to apply to particular contexts and issues.
