Reports on research carried out in New York State, which obtained systematic feedback about postdischarge implementation.

Findings suggest that follow-up programmes which move beyond the hospital walls are necessary to ensure that patients receive needed services.

- Munksgaard/ Blackwell
Data from the total urban population 75 years and older in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, were used to calculate the distribution of home help services. Results show that 86% of the elderly population in the Municipality of Kungsholmen live in their own homes, even when they are very old. 27% of those over 74 years and 33% of those over 80 years received home help services. The people receiving help were mostly women, single living, older and with disability detected by the Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale. Findings stress the need for more attention by health care planners of domiciliary and intensive care and residential facilities for the high risk population (very old, living alone, and with a disability.)

Various studies have dealt more or less directly with qualitative questions concerning social services provided in the home. While as a result of such studies the general characteristics of home services of importance to elderly people are quite well known, this is not the case regarding the relative importance assigned to such characteristics. Outlines the findings of research amongst older people in Sweden. The characteristics studied had largely the same relative importance for all older people.
