A pilot study on home visiting in Aspen Community Care Services.
The aim of this study was to test a questionnaire for more detailed management information of a community care program in rural Alberta. A total of 24 community care clients and 486 home visits to these clients were assessed. The Client Homebound Score (CHS) and the Case Management Intensity Score (CMIS) were positively associated with time spent on home visits. These scores would be useful indicators for improved resource-based planning of home visiting.
