This course describes and compares how countries, particularly France, the UK, Germany, Japan, the US and Canada, finance and deliver long term care. Topics include long term care insurance, and policies and technologies that enable the aging to stay at home as long as possible. We also compare how countries address similar specific issues such as assessment and special programs for particular conditions of the elderly population (e.g. dementia).
