Abstract:
In the past institutionalization has been an expensive answer to the long-term care of ill and disabled elderly for North Carolina. Alternatives to this are home health and geriatric day care, both allowing the aged the option of remaining in the community by supplementing family support for aged members. This article attempts to analyze the alternatives as they operate in North Carolina.
