Institutional and Home-Based Long-Term Care Alternatives: The 1965-85 Swedish Experience.

Berg, Stig; And Others

Gerontologist, v28 n6 p825-29 Dec 1988

Discusses the Swedish experience in which the official old-age care policy has been to substitute home care for institutional care. Found some substitution of the two forms of long-term care which took place from 1965-75, but thereafter the use of long-term care institutions and home care remained stable or contracted.
