Meta-heuristic methods improve patient satisfaction and reduce costs in elderly home care services.

This research aims to improve patient experience while reducing healthcare costs for elderly and terminally ill patients.
Developed a two-objective mathematical model for a one-day planning horizon.
Implemented MOALNS, NSGA-II, and the ϵ-constraint method on test problems.
Validated the efficacy of meta-heuristic approaches on large-scale test problems.
MOALNS outperformed NSGA-II in Pareto solutions diversity.
The execution time for MOALNS was more efficient than NSGA-II.
The non-dominated solutions are valuable for home care centers, particularly cancer care facilities.

Shirneshan et al. (2026) studied this question.
