Annotation	Intermediate care is often seen as a lifeline to establishing older people's independence after leaving hospital. The authors describe the findings of a research project for Help the Aged, "Older people's experiences of intermediate care: building a case for continuous care". The project suggests that the forthcoming White Paper on care outside hospital will need to address how more intensive short-term support - such as that provided by intermediate care - can be cushioned by a tier of low-level continuous voluntary sector support which guarantees older people "someone to expect each day".
