People are living longer, increasing the incidence of multiple chronic conditions (MCCs). Older people with MCC increasingly live alone and the availability of informal care by spouses or family members is declining. These trends have resulted in a growing demand for health care services to treat MMCs, as well as services to help individuals cope with everyday activities such as dressing, bathing, shopping, or preparing food. Often, these formal social care services are organised and funded separately from health care or medical services, which can result in fragmented care for people who need both services. A common response is to develop integrated health and social care for older people with complex needs.
