| Annotation | Geographical characteristics and social conditions in rural and remote areas often mean greater difficulty and costs in terms of providing aged care services. This, in turn, inevitably causes concern over spatial equity in the distribution of such services. This paper examines residential, home-based and community aged care provision, as well as nursing home type patients in Australia. It documents the nature and extent of variations in access to both residential and home-based services. The distribution of services in Australia is analysed in four geographical categories: capital city, other metropolitan areas, rural areas, and remote areas. (RH). |
