A Five-Year History of Targeting Home Care Services to Prevent Institutionalization.

Branch, Laurence G.; Stuart, Neil E.

Gerontologist, v24 n4 p387-91 Aug 1984

Describes the Massachusetts Home Care Corporation network, which provides alternatives to institutional long-term care. This investigation confirms that home-based support service can be targeted to selected subgroups, that targeting can be maintained, and that the recipients of these services are indeed the individuals who risk institutionalization.
