Abstract Details

2004, Master of Gerontological Studies, Miami University, Gerontology.
The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of nursing home placement for individuals receiving home care services through a locally funded levy program. Utilizing the data gathered at baseline, newly enrolled individuals were followed for 2.5 years. Logistic regression analysis suggested that increased age, poor self-reported health, limitations in bathing and meal preparation, and higher medical expenses significantly increased the chances of nursing home placement. Recommendations for future research and policy implications are discussed.
