Conclusion
The six countries included in this overview are engaged in an active process of developing responsive home care programs. They are experimenting with new approaches in administration, coordination, client assessments, personnel training, methods of service delivery and personnel practices. Although the results of these experiments may not be always transferable to other countries, many particular innovations should be examined for the sake of dissemination and adaptation.
