TI  - Life Care at Home: a new model for financing and delivering long-term care.
PG  - 245-52
AB  - In this paper we describe the Life Care at Home (LCAH) concept, a new long-term 
      care insurance and service delivery model that combines the financial and health 
      security of a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) with the freedom and 
      independence of living at home. LCAH retains risk pooling for long-term care and 
      provides other benefits and guarantees of CCRCs, including unlimited nursing home 
      care. Because subscribers live in their own homes as long as they can, LCAH costs 
      are substantially lower than those of CCRCs and more individuals can participate. 
      Our market research indicates that LCAH has strong appeal among the elderly. We 
      suggest that LCAH has a market potential of 10% to 25% of all elderly.
