Annotation	The issue of long-term care continues to be a main concern in the United States (US). As the country wrestles with the development of policies and services, the experiences of Israel, whose system rests upon national insurance, and that of the United Kingdom, which is based on grants to local authorities, can act as valuable teaching aids in the development of programmes in the US. Concern over resources are forcing both countries to target their services increasingly to the most frail. The findings underscore the necessity for accurate planning and adequate resources if services are to meet the needs of the frail older population. (AKM).
