Worldwide population ageing, concomitant increases in disability rates, and changes in family health care systems require an examination of current service delivery to optimize use of societal resources in the future. This article examines a community health care approach suggested by research conducted by the World Health Organization Kobe Centre for Health Development (WKC). The WKC approach, which uses a cross-national perspective, envisions a community health care system that integrates health and social services and spans health promotion, primary care, and long-term care. Prototypical approaches for organizing community health care include communal, marketplace, case management, and managed care. The ramifications of these approaches are examined from the perspectives of the older adult, the family, and formal service providers
