Medical services for older people in nursing homes--comparing services in England and the Netherlands
S Conroy et al. J Nutr Health Aging. 2009 Jun.
Abstract
As Europe faces an ageing population with increasing pressure on long term care, it is important for different systems to be compared and contrasted for the benefit of all. We compare long term care in the Netherlands to England, by examining the different care models, in terms of patient outcomes, quality of care, continuity of care and funding.
