  • Title: Costs of community care for disabled elderly persons: the policy implications.
    Author: Liu K, McBride TD, Coughlin TA.
    Journal: Inquiry; 1990; 27(1):61-72. PubMed ID: 2139007.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents results from our analysis of the National Long-Term Care Channeling Demonstration Project data. We used this data to estimate the costs of community-based long-term care services for disabled elderly persons. Our results indicate that both costs per community day and the likelihood that any costs would be incurred, would increase noticeably if a program similar to the Channeling project were implemented nationally. To illustrate the effects of disability-based eligibility criteria on total program costs, we present unit costs in conjunction with numbers of persons having different levels of ADL dependency.
