Sammanfattning
In order to study the value of Katz' Index of ADL (Activities of daily living) for monitoring ADL-status among elderly persons receiving home-care, and to study their use of short-term hospital care, 40 consecutive recipients of a home-care subsidy in a health service district were followed during a period of six months.
