RESUMO
A study of the cost-effectiveness of community-based, long-term care was conducted with voluntary enrollees eligible for Medicaid reimbursed nursing home care. One year after enrollment, average longevity was greater for the 575 clients in the experiment group, but average Medicaid plus Medicare costs for this group were higher than for the 172 clients in the control group. Among those more at risk of entering a nursing home, costs for persons in the experimental group were somewhat lower than for those in the control group. The results suggest that community-based services targeted to those most at risk of institutionalization may be cost-effective.
