Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shift of care from institutions to the community has placed an increased burden on women, families, and communities to provide care for elderly individuals. This has led to a greater demand for informal caregivers and a need for more support and resources for those providing care in the community. There has not been a significant reduction in healthcare costs, and the impact on the health status of the elderly is unclear. There is some evidence that the shift has led to decreased chronic illness but increased acute illnesses and injuries due to the higher risk of falls and other accidents in the home.
