Abstract:

To what extent can intensive costs community care be predicted. Research into 497 clients of Linkages (Community Options) projects in Victoria found that client and carer characteristics varied by dependency, incontinence, male or non resident carers and length of time as a client. However capacity to predict costs was limited as only 29% of variances could be explained.
