Continuum of Care as a Policy Framework for the Social/Health Care Needs of the Elderly: A State of the Art Review

Journal of Gerontological Social Work

Author: Watkins, J. M., Watkins, D. A.
Year: 1984
Type: Journal Article

Abstract:

For some time the continuum of care (CofC) has intrigued social planners & policy analysts as a concept with potential for influencing the delivery of social services. More recently, the Older Americans Act, as amended in 1978, includes the mandate to State Units & Area Agencies on Aging to provide a CofC for the vulnerable elderly. In a literature review, the CofC is examined by isolating areas of consensus, highlighting points of disagreement, & identifying issues relevant to CofC as a conceptual framework for policy decisions & service delivery to the elderly population.
