| Annotation | This report brings together the main findings of a review of the development of long-term care policies and service provision for frail elderly people in OECD member countries in the three main sectors of care: home care services, informal care, and group residential care. Case studies of policies and services in Canada, Denmark, France, Japan, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States are presented, covering developments up to 1995. The final section considers developments and issues that are being debated during the 1990s and the implications for future policies in Australia and New Zealand, Japan, Scandinavian countries, Germany, and the United States. |
