2 Overview of the Presentation Introduction and Rationale The Veterans Affairs Canada Project Home Care as a Substitute for Residential Care Findings Regarding Home Support, Supportive Housing and Unpaid Care Integrated Models of Care Delivery Conclusions 2
3 Introduction and Rationale 3
4 Introduction Hollander Analytical Services Ltd recently completed a major study on the costeffectiveness of Continuing Care Goals: (1) Inform VAC & Ontario on approaches to service delivery to seniors; (2) Inform and contribute to wider policy discussions Approach: Two interrelated studies comparing costs and outcomes of home care, supportive housing and long term facility care 4
5 Study Rationale Limited previous continuum of care research Romanow Commission and Kirby Committee did not address long term home care national cost-effectiveness studies did not consider supportive housing or VAC programs VAC experience: OSV experience, role of home support and VIP yet to be fully studied 5
6 The Veterans Affairs Canada Project 6
7 Two Interrelated Studies: Study 1 Case Study of the VAC Overseas Service Veteran Initiative in Halifax, Ottawa and Victoria Substitution function of home care Comparison of home and long term facility care Historical analysis & current OSVs 7
8 Two Interrelated Studies: Study 2 Study 2: Cost and Outcomes Study in Greater Toronto Area Broader study Include preventive and maintenance function of home care Comparison of home care, supportive housing, and long term care 8
9 Main Research Approaches Interviews with Veterans and their informal (unpaid) caregivers such as spouses, children, friends, etc., regarding the use of care and support services funded by VAC, for all sites of care. Diaries completed by clients and caregivers regarding out-ofpocket expenses (including payments to formal care providers) and time spent providing care services, by both paid care providers and unpaid caregivers, for all sites of care. 9
10 Research Questions for the Continuing Care Research Project Research Question How satisfied are VAC staff and managers with the OSV/VIP Program, what do they see as its strengths and weaknesses, and how would they rate the success of the program? To what extent have people, who originally would have only received facility care, embraced the VIP home option? What are the comparative systems costs (i.e. overall costs) for OSV clients before and after introducing the VIP home option, on a cost standardized basis? How satisfied are comparable clients in VIP, supportive housing (if applicable) and long term facility care and how do they rate their quality of life? What proportion of home care services (VIP and health services) are provided by home support services? Applied to Study 1 X X X X X Study 2 X X 10
11 Research Questions (cont d) Research Question Which home care and home support services are the most instrumental in keeping people out of facility care? Which factors contributed to community clients and supportive housing clients (if applicable) entering a long term care facility? What have been the positive and negative impacts on family caregivers? What is the cost-effectiveness of home care compared to long term facility care? To what extent is supportive housing an appropriate alternative to home care and long term facility care? To what extent would adding supportive housing contribute to an enhanced, and cost-effective continuum of care for VAC clients? Applied to Study Study 2 1 X X X X X X X X X X 11

21 International Findings (cont d) Stuart and Weinrich in a 2001 study comparing Denmark (which has an integrated model of care and a strong reliance on home and community services) and the United States, found that from 1985 to 1997 per capita expenditures on continuing care for seniors increased by 8% in Denmark and 67% in the United States. Many of the efficiencies in Denmark were achieved by increasing home care and reducing facility beds. Source: Stuart, M., & Weinrich, M. (2001).

23 Findings From VAC s Continuing Care Research Project 23
24 Cost-Effectiveness - Satisfaction Very high level of satisfaction with care services in all settings in both studies for clients and caregivers. Community clients generally more satisfied than facility clients. Satisfaction levels for supportive housing clients were lower than for community clients, but higher than for facility clients. Satisfaction findings are based on responses from clients who participated in the interview themselves. 24
25 Cost-Effectiveness Health Related Quality of Life Health related quality of life, overall, was similar for clients in all three settings. For clients with comparable care needs, facility clients reported better health related quality of life than that community and supportive housing clients. May be due to additional services VAC funds in facilities. 25
26 Cost-Effectiveness - Costs Home care considerably less costly than facility care. Supportive housing less costly than community care if rent factor not included, but more costly if rent factor included. 26

29 Findings Regarding Home Support, Supportive Housing and Unpaid Care 29
30 Findings From Previous Studies 30
31 Cost-Effectiveness of the Preventive Function of Home Care and the Role of Home Support In the fall of 1994, a policy was put into place in British Columbia to cut Personal Care clients (those with the lowest care needs) who only received house cleaning from service. Most cuts were made in the first half of Different patterns of response by Health Units (HUs) to the policy. Some HUs did not cut services, some cut moderately and some cut severely. 31
32 Comparative Costs Per Person Average Costs of Care Before and After Cuts for Health Units With and Without Cuts Period Year Prior to Cuts ($) First Year After Cuts ($) Second Year After Cuts ($) Third Year After Cuts ($) All Cuts 5,252 6,688 9,654 11,903 Costs No Cuts 4,535 5,963 6,771 7,808 Source: Hollander, M.J. (2001). Evaluation of the Maintenance and Preventive Model of Home Care. Victoria: Hollander Analytical Services Ltd. A recent study by Markle-Reid also found that modest amounts of home support services may reduce hospital and LTC facility costs.

36 Supportive Housing Mixture of clients with intermediate level care needs, lower level care needs, and financial needs (provincial policy states that 40% of units need to be for low income individuals). Appears to be of benefit to single and lower income individuals. Beneficial for spouses - if husband dies spouses are in familiar and supportive environment. 36
37 Supportive Housing (cont d) Based on Study 2 of the CCRP, supportive housing and other similar options such as assisted living, could provide a valuable complement to VAC s continuum of care. 37

44 Integrated Models of Care Delivery 44
45 Even If Home Care Is Cost-Effective, Is There Any Evidence That Savings Can Be Obtained In The Real World Yes. This was demonstrated by the BC Planning and Resource Allocation Model developed in 1989, within an integrated care system. There was a significant shift of clientele from long term facility care to home care, while the overall utilization rate remained relatively constant. However, to maximize efficiencies services need to be delivered in an integrated model of care where proactive trade-offs can be made between home care and long term care services. 45
46 Major Phases In The Utilization of Home Care & Facility Care Growth Phase, to March 1984 Restraint and Consolidation April March 1989 Planning Model April 1989 March Regionalization April 1994 Onward Home Care Utilization* Facility Care Utilization * Includes home and community based services + Includes long term care and chronic/extended care facilities Source: Adapted from: Hollander, M.J. (2001). Substudy 1: Final Report of the Study on the Comparative Cost Analysis of Home Care and Residential Care Services. Victoria, British Columbia: National Evaluation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Home Care. 46
47 The Benefits of Integration Coordinated/integrated care delivery systems for persons with ongoing care needs have the following benefits: - They are good clinically because they allow for well coordinated seamless care for clients across a wide range of services from Meals on Wheels to specialized geriatric assessment and treatment centres in hospitals. - They are good from a policy perspective because policies can be made at the broader systems level, across all care services in the system, to the benefit of the client. 47
48 The Benefits of Integration (cont d) - They are good economically because such systems allow for trade offs between, for example, less costly home care and more expensive long term facility care or acute care. Such efficiencies can increase value-for-money within the continuing care system, and within the broader health care system. - They are good because, if done well, it is possible simultaneously to both reduce costs (or increase efficiencies) and provide better care to clients. 48
49 Conclusions 49
50 Conclusions Long term home care can be a cost-effective alternative to long term facility care. Home support services are an integral part of long term home care, and an important care response to persons with legitimate health care needs. However, in order to maintain independence, the appropriate response to these needs is often, in large part, the provision of home support services. There is a growing body of evidence about the substantial economic contribution made by informal caregivers. 50
51 Conclusions (cont d) There is also an emerging literature on the costeffectiveness of supportive housing. Finally, there is now a substantial weight of research evidence to indicate the potential costeffectiveness of home care services within an integrated system of care delivery. It is therefore time to re-visit current national policy directions on continuing care services. 51
