TOWARD A NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR LONG-TERM CARE OF 1~E ELDERLY A STUDY PLAN FOR EVALUATION OF NEW POLICY OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE Report of a committee of the Institute of Medicine April 1986 INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES

NOTICE The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the Councils of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members of the Committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competencies and with regard for appropriate balance. This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The Institute of Medicine was chartered in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to enlist distinguished members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. In this, the Institute acts under both the Academy's 1863 congressional charter responsibility to be an advisor to the Federal Government, and its own initiative in identifying issues of medical care, research, and education e This volume is the final report of a planning study conducted under grants from the American Medical Association, the American Nurses' Association, and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, contracts with the Health Care Financing Administration, the National Institute on Aging, and support from the National Research Council Fund, a pool of private, discretionary, nonfederal funds that is used to support a program of acadPmy-initiated studies of national issues in which science and technology figure significantly. The NRC Fund consists of contributions from a consortium of private foundations including the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Charles E. Culpeper Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation; the Academy Industry Program, which seeks annual contributions from companies that are concerned with the health of U.S. science and technology and with public policy issues that have technological content; and the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering endowments. 2101 Constitution Ave., N.W.
