Nursing Homes: Needs Growing; Costs Rising

John A. Kuehn and Marlys Nelson

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1980, vol. 03 RDP, issue 3

Abstract: More elderly people are moving into nursing homes even though this approach to health care is relatively more costly than other alternatives. Greater use of nursing homes and the influx of retirees into some rural areas may prompt community leaders to reexamine the priority of problems they are confronting. Increased emphasis is anticipated in investigating health care alternatives, including which services are desirable.
