Abstract
Long term care for older people is a highly regulated sector providing accommodation, health, and social care to vulnerable older adults. Older adults in New Zealand are among the highest users of long term care services globally. Traditionally those requiring specialist care for dementia are housed apart from other residents. In an example of organizational innovation, 1 provider relocated residents to a secure village where residents requiring specialist dementia care would be desegregated. We utilized a critical realist case study to explain the role of intersectoral collaboration among government agencies in supporting the transition while managing risk and ensuring regulatory compliance.Description
