The growing number of very old people and their present and future demands upon existing health and social service resources is of major concern among practitioners and policy makers throughout Europe. This book makes an important contribution to the debate about the future of care for this population group from a cross-national perspective. Policies in most countries stress the need for older people to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. Home care services, in particular home help, are one of the most important ingredients in the service mix aimed to achieve this aim. Chapters on individual countries (Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Israel, Italy and the Netherlands) describe the range and nature of service provision and discuss the effectiveness of home care policies and the major issues facing the future of home care provision. Three chapters address the issues from a comparative perspective, highlighting similarities and differences in provision and policies and exploring ways of explaining the major differences, in an attempt to assess the likely future directions of home care policies in different countries of the European Community.
