Currently more women than men (38% v/s 24%) over the age of 85 years require continuing care (nursing home), and this age group will continue to be the fastest growing group in the future (Health Canada, 2002). Mullins and Hartley (2002) estimate that 43% of older people aged 65 years and older will spend some time in a continuing care centre before they die. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Senior Care Canada, 5(Third Quarter), p. 4-8 | Publisher: | Pheasant Ridge Creations Inc | Place of Publication: | Canada | ISSN: | 1915-0261 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 111702 Aged Health Care | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 940103 Ageing and Older People | HERDC Category Description: | C3 Non-Refereed Article in a Professional Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://seniorcarecanada.com/articles/2003/q3/innovative.models/ |
