The vast majority of care is given informally in the home by family and/or friends. However, at various points in a disease continuum there are needs for formal care, such as home health, counseling, case management, adult day care, nursing home,and other forms of residential care. Supports for older persons who are chronically ill and their families vary in numbers, diversity, quality, and availability. The interface between formal and informal care has not been well studied. However, the public and private sectors continue to fund a variety of support programs.
