Summary:	An in-depth longitudinal study of a highly successful program--Vermont's Project HOME--in which older homeowners receive care and services in exchange for sharing their homes, providing an inexpensive alternative to residential care in nursing homes and other forms of institutionalization, and helping elderly and disabled individuals retain control of their lives.
