Understanding Factors That Influence Success of Home- and Community-Based Services in Keeping Older Adults in Community Settings
01/26/2010 | 725 Requests *Summary
Read this study that found two significant supportive factors for older adults to remain in communities were use of paid instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) personal care services and awareness of unmet needs. Findings suggest the importance of encouraging older adults to acknowledge their unmet needs and to seek community-based support services early, rather than wait until they have developed more serious needs.
