The continuum of care revisited: a rural perspective

MA Salmon, GM Nelson and SG Rous
Center for Aging Research and Educational Services (CARES), School of Social Work, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 27599-8065.

This study examines resource data for a variety of services in North Carolina's continuum of care for older adults. It qualifies the widespread contention that older adults in urban areas receive a greater number and more varied services than their rural counterparts. It also demonstrates that one of the most important differences between these communities is the greater variability of services among rural compared to urban counties. The comparative findings on urban and rural variations in the continuum of care for older adults have implications for further research and future policy development.
