Study debunks ‘one size fits all’ approach to home care

Published 14th February 2019

Home and community care providers could improve service provision by better profiling and targeting groups of consumers, a study suggests.

The study, published in the current European Journal of Ageing, investigated patterns of home and community care use by women aged 75-90 between 2001-2011.

Because of the time frame, the research focused on women receiving HACC services prior to the announcement of age care reforms that resulted in the establishment of the CHSP and HCP programs.
