Screening interviews and clinical assessments were conducted of Manitobans over age 85: 74 had no cognitive impairments, 94 had impairments with no dementia, and 58 had dementia. Half of those with dementia and one-quarter of those with impairments received home care. Type, cost, and amount of community health services used varied with each category. (SK)
