Abstract
Two powerful forces in Canada's health care system today are the rapidly growing seniors population and the trend toward community care. Recently, five hospitals in southwestern Ontario initiated a program designed to avert the admission of seniors to hospital and provide them with supports at home to maintain their health. Simultaneous research was conducted to assess the impact and effectiveness of the program.
