| Annotation | This paper examines policy and financing of long-term care in the United States (US) and considers the implications for long-term care in the United Kingdom (UK). The paper places health and social maintenance organisation initiatives, such as On Lok, which was the inspiration for Elderly People's Integrated Care System (EPICS), into its national context. Topics covered include regulation of nursing homes, including quality assurance and reimbursement; implications for British research; experiments to substitute for institutional care; and new methods of finance.
