AnnotationHome-based services - ranging from nursing to personal assistance with activities of daily living - are essential to many people with illness or disability. In the United States, there has been a dramatic growth in the demand for home care, raising questions about costs and rationale of this type of care. This special issue presents nine concept articles commissioned by the Home Care Research Initiative (HCRI) launched in 1996 by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The aim is to re-examine the underlying premises and advance the conceptual underpinnings of home care policy. Three main issues are addressed: fundamental goals of home-based services; efficiency and cost-effectiveness; and public and private responsibilities for individual care and well-being. (AKM).
