Canadian and U.S. Systems of Care for the Mentally Ill Elderly.

Liptzin, Benjamin

Gerontologist, v24 n2 p174-78 Apr 1984

Compares the United States and Canada in the funding and organization of psychiatric services for the elderly. Acute hospital, medical, and nursing home services are more accessible in Canada because of universal health insurance, but in both countries, services are limited by the small number of professionals.
