Spatial optimization of Residential Care facility locations in Beijing, China: maximum equity in accessibility
International journal of health geographics, 2014Co-Authors: Zhuolin Tao, Yang Cheng, Teqi Dai, Mark W. RosenbergAbstract:Background The Residential Care system is rapidly developing and plays an increasingly important role in Care for the elderly in Beijing. A noticeable disparity in the accessibility to existing Residential Care facilities, however, is demonstrated in existing studies. The spatial optimization of Residential Care facility (RCF) locations is urgently needed to promote equal access to Residential Care resources among the elderly population.

spatial access to Residential Care resources in beijing china
International Journal of Health Geographics, 2012Co-Authors: Yang Cheng, Jiaoe Wang, Mark W. RosenbergAbstract:As the population is ageing rapidly in Beijing, the Residential Care sector is in a fast expansion process with the support of the municipal government. Understanding spatial accessibility to Residential Care resources by older people supports the need for rational allocation of Care resources in future planning. Based on population data and data on Residential Care resources, this study uses two Geographic Information System (GIS) based methods – shortest path analysis and a two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method to analyse spatial accessibility to Residential Care resources. Spatial accessibility varies as the methods and considered factors change. When only time distance is considered, Residential Care resources are more accessible in the central city than in suburban and exurban areas. If Care resources are considered in addition to time distance, spatial accessibility is relatively poor in the central city compared to the northeast to southeast side of the suburban and exurban areas. The resources in the northwest to southwest side of the city are the least accessible, even though several hotspots of Residential Care resources are located in these areas. For policy making, it may require combining various methods for a comprehensive analysis. The methods used in this study provide tools for identifying underserved areas in order to improve equity in access to and efficiency in allocation of Residential Care resources in future planning.

Access to Residential Care in Beijing, China: making the decision to relocate to a Residential Care facility
Ageing and Society, 2011Co-Authors: Yang Cheng, Mark W. Rosenberg, Wuyi Wang, Linsheng YangAbstract:ABSTRACTThe demand for Residential Care by older people is increasing in Beijing as a result of dramatic demographic and socio-economic transformations. Little is known about the way older people access Residential Care in the context of Beijing. In this research, qualitative data collected from 46 in-depth semi-structured interviews with Residential Care facility (RCF) managers, older residents, and their family members in six RCFs in Beijing were transcribed and analysed using the constant comparative method. The findings included the following themes: access to Residential Care as geographical access, information access, economic access, socio-cultural access, and the socio-managerial environment. Geographical access is influenced by location, distance, and the micro-physical environment and amenities of RCFs. Information access refers to the capability to acquire related information on available resources. Economic access is the financial affordability for the resources. Socio-cultural access is affected by individual attitudes and aggregative cultural values on ageing and Care of older people. Additionally, the social-managerial environment such as reputations of RCFs, quality of services, and management mechanisms are also important to the decision-making process. All these factors influence older people and their family members’ decision-making process of which RCF to choose. The research provides a multi-perspective analysis of access to Residential Care and suggestions on improving the accessibility of Residential Care for older people in Beijing.

Population ageing and Residential Care resources in Beijing: spatial distribution of the elderly population and Residential Care facilities
2011Co-Authors: Y Cheng, Mw Rosenberg, W Wang, L Yang, Yang ChengAbstract:Background. Beijing faces enormous challenges in caring for its elderly population because of demographic ageing and socio-economic transformations. Residential Care has become an alternative for the Care of the elderly. Methods. Various indicators have been developed to understand the demographics of the elderly population and the development of Residential Care industry. Using these indicators, the spatial distribution of the elderly population and Residential Care facilities (RCFs) was mapped. Results. The oldest-old (≥80 years) females were more vulnerable than other elderly groups in terms of health and socio-economic status. The spatial distribution of the elderly population and Residential Care resources was uneven and mismatched. Conclusion. The oldest-old females should receive most Care resources. In some central districts of Beijing, resources do not meet the potential demand for RCFs, whereas in suburban and ex-urban areas, resources are under-utilised. The findings provide scientific evidence for future planning of Residential Care services in Beijing.

Interpretative phenomenological analysis of young people\u27s lived experiences of therapeutic Residential Care
'Wiley', 2021Co-Authors: Kor Kenny, Fernandez Elizabeth, Jo SpangaroAbstract:Concerns of maltreatment and poor outcomes persist in Residential Care despite numerous government inquiries and recommendations. Young people in Residential Care continue to be the most vulnerable and marginalized group in the out-of-home Care population. Young people\u27s voices are also underrepresented in research. Existing studies predominantly focus on service evaluations in which individual voices of young people are overshadowed by adults\u27 perspectives. Other studies examine the perspectives of young people in out-of-home Care as a homogenous population, limiting understandings of the subjective experiences of young people in Residential Care. This study focused exclusively on young people\u27s lived experiences in Australian therapeutic Residential Care, utilizing interpretative phenomenological analysis. The young people in this study revealed experiences of peer victimization, ambiguous loss and uncertainty during transitions. These findings suggest that more work is required in order to provide safe and healing environments and experiences for young people in therapeutic Residential Care. Each individual voice captured in this study offers valuable insights into how Residential Care practitioners can strengthen practice to enhance protection, engagement, connection with families and leaving Care support

Children living in Residential Care from teachers’ voices
European Journal of Social Work, 2019Co-Authors: Amelia Morales-ocaña, Purificación Pérez-garcíaAbstract:Teachers have the potential to be key figures in the educational progress of children in Care. This study is based on semi-structured interviews with 16 primary school teachers of children in Residential Care. It explores the teachers’ understandings of their pupils in Residential Care as well as the main issues they recalled from their experiences working with said population. It also enquires into the possible requirements suggested by teachers in order to improve their educational intervention. Results suggest that teachers had more knowledge and control over the academic aspect than over emotional and behavioural issues of children in Residential Care. They found difficulties to address emotional and behavioural needs of these children. This fact is related to a lack of structural support and constitutes a significant barrier to the education of children Residential in Care.
