title: Just for Us: in-home care for frail elderly and disabled individuals with low incomes.
abstract: In response to increasing concerns about health care access, cost, and quality, Duke University Medical Center began a community-engaged, iterative, data-driven process in 1998 to develop innovative models to provide care earlier, more effectively, and at a lower cost. This commentary reviews Just for Us, an in-home care program launched in 2002 for low-income, frail elderly and disabled individuals.
