Abstract
The world is facing an unprecedented growth of older adults, a sizable number of whom will require nursing home services. Although community-based care delivery systems strive to keep most of those in need at home, nursing homes are increasingly accommodating a more frail population that is straining available resources. This article focuses on common themes evident around the world regarding long-term care of the elderly. Issues related to service delivery, financing, and quality are highlighted.Mesh:
