Reaction of a skeptical sociologist.

Various federal efforts to stimulate participation of the disadvantaged in community-based human service programs appear to have produced only modest results. Particularly deserving sober attention are support services needed to initiate and sustain meaningful involvement of the disadvantaged. Both financing such support services and potential professional dominance of citizen participants pose critical problems.

Objectives, standards, and evaluation in long-term care.

Objectives commonly considered in evaluation of long-term care programs are critically reviewed. An alternate formulation, in which assurance of adequate solutions to problems of daily living is the basic purpose of long-term care, is proposed. Conceptual and methodological issues in systematic description of quality of circumstances of the functionally disabled are discussed. An approach to developing standards for quality of community-based long-term care is outlined. Consideration is given to the role of organized and publicly financed long-term care in reducing care burdens experienced by family members.
