This indicator measures the expenditure on the health care function home-based long-term care (health) (SHA HC.3.4) in million national currency units following the System of Health Accounts (SHA; OECD et al. 2011). Expenditure refers to the payments related to final consumption of all health care goods and services by the resident units. Long-term care at home is provided to people with functional restrictions who mainly reside at their own home. It also applies to the use of institutions on a temporary basis to support continued living at home - such as in the case of community care and day care centres and in the case of respite care. Home care also includes specially designed or adapted living arrangements for persons who require help on a regular basis while guaranteeing a high degree of autonomy and self-control.
