The home care allowance program: a change in policy and implications for elder clients.

This paper reports the findings of a study exploring the effects of cutbacks in Colorado Home Care programs on frail elderly. Results indicate that these cutbacks put the respondents, who live in their own homes but are dependent on relatives, friends, or strangers for assistance in activities of daily living, at risk for long term institutionalization. These households are precursors of a growing healthcare crisis in aging populations where homecare assistance programs must supplement or supplant the resources of a thinning network of kin and friends.

Community control in a Gesellschaft world: a comment.

This comment discusses Nassi's analysis in terms of culture conflict as discussed by Earl Johnson (1977). Johnson's analysis, which examines gemeinschaft to gesellschaft societal changes resulting from industrialization provides a wholistic, evolutionary view of changing modes of community control. It is concluded that Johnson's analysis offers a more radical perspective than Nassi's because it deals not merely with power and economic relations, but also with fundamental values which transcend generations and singular societies.
