Popis: The oft quoted phrase, "There's no place like home," has no greater meaning than when long-term care decisions are being made. In the midst of ongoing late life changes, one's home is often the only anchor. Through carefully selected home care and nursing and care management services, living at home remains a viable option for older adults and their families. Physicians can serve as a vital link between older adults and the home care system by educating the patient where services can be obtained. Physician input into referral and collaboration with other care managers can help determine the best approach to home care.
