title = "Implementing England{\textquoteright}s Care Act 2014: was the Act a success and when will we know?",
abstract = "Many countries are reforming long-term care to deal with the social risks created by demographic and social change. However, the passage of legislation is often followed by a new set of challenges as policy is implemented. This article examines England{\textquoteright}s Care Act 2014 through Compton and {\textquoteleft}t Hart{\textquoteright}s criteria of policy endurance to demonstrate the importance of assessing effectiveness at multiple time points. Early success in {\textquoteleft}implementation readiness{\textquoteright} was followed by the abandonment or dilution of key commitments. Yet, the Act{\textquoteright}s foundational principles – well-being, prevention and capping private spending – continue to shape care policy, much as its original supporters hoped.",
