Targeting Services to Chronically Disabled Elderly

Abstract
In response to concerns about the adequate provision of long term care, the National Long Term Care Channeling Demonstration has been funded by the Department of Health and Human Services. The project is designed to provide coordinated community services as an alternative to institutionalization to those elderly individuals at risk of placement. This preliminary work examines the demonstration's experience in its attempt to target services to these individuals. Although final research results are not yet available, the method, problems, and results of the initial case finding and screening approaches provide additional knowledge concerning the targeting experience.
