The first 218 patients admitted to the Kingston Chronic Home Care program (CHC) after its inception in October, 1975 were followed to March 31, 1981. Their average number of admissions to CHC was 2.3, and they averaged 16 months in CHC. Twenty-eight percent died before any admission to a longterm care institution; 44% were admitted to such an institution at or after last separation from CHC. The study suggests that CHC results in a significant degree of prevention or delay of admission to institutions.
1975 年 10 月，金斯敦慢性家庭护理项目（CHC）成立后，前 218 名入院患者的随访工作持续到 1981 年 3 月 31 日。他们平均入院 CHC 的次数为 2.3 次，在 CHC 的平均时间为 16 个月。28%的患者在任何一次入住长期护理机构之前死亡；44%的患者在最后一次离开 CHC 后入住了该机构。研究表明，CHC 显著降低或延迟了患者入住机构的几率。
