Abstract

A program training the elderly as home health aides is evaluated using a variety ofprocedures on a number of levels. Primary outcome variables center on graduate employment and graduate and patient satisfactions. Quality of instruction, interorganization cooperation, and legal issues also are examined. Questionnaires sent to graduate aides, interviews and observations with patients and caretakers, interviews with key informants, and the use of documents were all important data sources. Though the design was necessarily post hoc, we were able to make a number of useful observations about program successes and problems .
