Abstract
The supply of acceptable quality, paid custodial home care is threatened by the increasingly precarious financial condition of providers. Examined were the trends of the publicly-owned, for-profit providers. Restrictive public payments and the lack of private insurance coverage have contributed to the financial woes. Changes are urgently needed which address the financing of home care.Keywords
