Chapter 28 Diabetes and Long-Term Care

Long-term care, which includes nursing facilities and home health care, provides care to an increasing population of disabled, elderly persons with diabetes. Nursing facilities provide the majority of formal long-term care. Data from the Institutional Component of the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES-2) provide a profile of the demographics, health status, health care use, and nursing facility expenditures of residents with and without diabetes.
