Summary The review was set up to examine the extent to which experience reflects the rating of care needs and funding outcomes predicted in the development of the RCS (Resident Classification Scheme), the extent to which the RCS adequately describes care needs, its effectiveness in both nursing homes and hostels, its adequacy in reflecting dementia care needs, whether the guidelines are clear and enable the RCS to be used as intended and the adequacy of the training and support materials
