| Sumario: | Records the conclusions and recommendations of a study group commissioned to explore the use of home-based care as a strategy for coping with the growing number of individuals in need of long-term care.

These changes include the growing population of elderly persons and the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS on social networks and health services.
