An interesting study from Vermont in 2002 found that residential LTC cost $120 a day in comparison to Home Care ( $80 a day). Since last year a new programme has paid caregivers $10 an hour up to 30 hours a week to provide care in the home. There is now 155 fewer LTC beds and 123 more Home Care clients than last year. Not sure this would have the same success in a centrally controlled system but it does recognize that resource that has no line ie the caregiver.
