Older people who would prefer to stay in their homes and states
whose funds are being depleted by the rising costs of Medicaid
payments to nursing homes find the current system of long-term care
unsatisfactory. From Nursing Homes to Home Care arms educators,
policymakers, public health professionals, gerontologists, and
advocacy groups with the information they need to participate
knowledgeably in the debate about aging and long-term care needs.
The book shows readers where things are, where they are going, and
where they need to be in changing the system of long-term care.
From Nursing Homes to Home Care evaluates future needs for
long-term care by analyzing on-going systems and assessing key
features of proposed long term programs in the context of
population aging. Readers gain a thoughtful analysis of the complex
dimensions of making future long-term care policy and program
decisions as they read about: patterns of demographic aging,
disability, and health needs intersections of formal and informal
care including intergenerational equity issues long-term care
services needs and accessibility planning for funding, quality
assurance, and range of services implications of shifts from the
current system to a system of home and community-based services
Chapters in From Nursing Homes to Home Care express the collective
thinking of leaders in long-term care policy and research.
Contributors address implications for changing the current system
in relation to the emerging needs of the aging population and use
this as a basis for examining alternative decisions. Information in
the book helps readers determine how to best blend formal and
informal services, how to assure quality of care and quality of
life in long-term care policy, how to finance devised programs,
which health needs to address, and whether to use regulatory or
competitive approaches. Professionals, educators and students, and
policymakers at all levels learn about factors to consider in
policy planning and decision making, including features of aging
baby boomers; trends in the growth of the aged population; newly
emerging trends in morbidity, disability, and mortality and their
effect on the demand for long-term care in the short and long term;
access issues from the perspective of the historical evolution of
publicly funded long-term care services, the distribution of formal
and informal systems of care; utilization patterns of the minority
and poor; how to pay for care, how to design an appropriate mix of
services, how to maintain quality with efficiency, and how to mesh
services with social and family values. From Nursing Homes to Home
Care is an invaluable resource in evaluating and advocating policy
changes and decisions for an improved long-term care system.
