Collection and usage attributes | |
Comments: | Linking human service outcomes with people's housing situations has been identified as an important step in providing better targeted services. Collecting information about residential setting also gives an indication of the type and variety of settings to which agencies deliver their services when providing assistance. This metadata item assists when making comparisons of data from administrative data collections with data from the five yearly Census of Population and Housing, and to assist in analyses of de-institutionalisation |

Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | Home and Community Care MDS 2009 Community Services (retired), Recorded 16/11/2009 Implementation start date: 11/05/2006 DSS specific information: In the classification of settings included in the National Classification of Community Services Version 1.0, aged care hostels are included in Class 205 (Supported accommodation facility) and nursing homes are included in Class 402 (Special-purpose residential facility). For the purposes of the HACC MDS, nursing homes and aged care hostels have been grouped together as Residential Aged Care Facilities under Class 402. This is in line with the recent Commonwealth government restructuring of aged care services which combines nursing homes and aged care hostels into a single category called Residential Aged Care Facility. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has been informed of this decision in the HACC MDS and is aware of the need to review the classification to accommodate recent aged care policy developments. The value domain for this element is mappable to the National Community Services Data Dictionary data element Type of Usual Accommodation. However, there remains some discrepancy between the use of ‘usual’ in the NCSDD and the use of ‘while receiving services’ in the HACC MDS. |
