Examines the state of long-term care for the elderly in Canada, focusing on Manitoba & using 1985-1991 health data. Demographic & historical perspectives are presented, policy issues & expected outcomes are discussed, & institutional long-term care is addressed. Population projections forecast that, by the year 2031, 25% of the population of Canada will be age 65+. Health care expenditures doubled 1981-1990 for both Manitoba & Canada. The policy response to ever-increasing costs of delivering health care to an aging population has been to seek alternative methods of delivery. Specifically, the long-term care bed-population ratio has been reduced & continued modest increases in the use of community care is anticipated.
