pubmed:abstractText
A large random sample of people in the long-term institutions (homes for the aged, nursing homes and continuing care hospitals) of London, Ont. was studied to assess the suitability of these people, according to physical and mental status, for the institution in which each resided. The results indicated a relative need for beds in homes for the aged and nursing homes. A high proportion (29% to 54%) of people in the three types of institutions were unsuitably placed. Greater flexibility is needed in institutional arrangements, and institutions should be examined for their potential to provide support in maintaining the elderly at home. The findings of this study add some weight to the arguments of those calling for more and better home care programs for the disabled.
