Summary:

Providing long-term care for growing elderly populations is a major concern in many industrialized countries. Germany, Japan, Canada, and the United Kingdom address long-term care issues in various ways. A comparison of these differing approaches may help inform U.S. policy makers as they face challenges presented by the retirement of the baby boom generation and the growing number of older persons.
