Expanded community care for the frail elderly has been advocated based on its potential for financial cost saving. However, the evaluation found that average costs increased: the cost of expanding publicly financed case management and formal community services beyond what already was provided was not offset by reductions in the costs for nursing home care.
基于其在节省财政成本方面的潜力,扩大针对体弱老年人的社区护理已得到提倡。然而,评估发现平均成本有所增加:扩大公共资助的个案管理及正规社区服务(超出已提供的范围)的成本,并未因疗养院护理成本的降低而得到抵消。
