Costs and Cost-Effectiveness

"Home care is a cost-effective service, not only for individuals recuperating from a hospital stay, but also for those who, because of a functional or cognitive disability, are unable to take care of themselves. However, it should be noted that cost-effectiveness is not the only rational for home care. In fact, the best argument for home care is that it is a humane and compassionate way to deliver care and supportive services. Home care reinforces and supplements the care provided by family members and friends, and maintains the recipient's dignity and independence, qualities that are all too often lost even in the best institutions".
