Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Community care services are intended to help people who need care and support to live with dignity and independence in the community and to avoid social isolation. The services are aimed at the elderly and those who have mental illnesses, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities. The main aim in providing community care services is to enable people to remain living in their own homes and to retain as much independence as possible, avoiding social isolation. Local authority social services provide community care services or arrange for them to be provided.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to advance the fields of healthcare strategy and community care. Authors are encouraged to submit papers for consideration that examine government policies, health programs, and that assess these topics using health management methodologies. Thus, papers submitted for the Special Issue should empirically or quantitatively address the valuable implications of healthcare.
