“…For instance, using data from the NLTCCD, Kemper (1992) finds that, in comparison to those who are unmarried and have no children, married disabled elderly with or without children and unmarried persons with children are significantly less likely to use formal home care. Similarly, Hanley and Wiener (1991) predict the odds of having a formal home care provider in the 1982 NLTCS, and find that the disabled elderly without a spouse and those with fewer daughters and sons are more likely to have formal home care. However, Garber (1989) finds that disabled elderly with more children in the 1982 NLTCS are likely to receive more formal home health care.…”

This study examines the likelihood of nursing home and home health care use for childless older Americans. Four research questions are addressed: (1) Are the childless elderly at a greater risk of nursing home and home health care use? (2) Is it childlessness per se or not having children with particular characteristics that affects the likelihood of using these formal long-term care services? (3) Does having additional children beyond the first one have a significant effect on the use of these services? (4) Are the effects of childlessness different on the likelihood of nursing home and home health care use? Longitudinal data from the first (1993) and second (1995) waves of the Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old Survey (AHEAD) and multinomial logistic regression models are used for the analyses. Separate models are developed for women and men, each controlling for a variety of demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related characteristics of sample persons. Findings indicate childlessness as an important risk factor, especially for older women's use of nursing home services. Implications of findings for planning for long-term care needs of the baby boom generation are discussed.

“…The results in this study add further support to the consistent absence of significant explanations by predisposing and enabling variables in relation to need variables. Other studies of home care use have found similar results with education, marital status, prior health care use, and population density as significant determinants but adding little to the overall variance (Hanley and Wiener 1991;McAuley and Arling 1984). It is suggested that education may affect an individual's ability to combine any knowledge of his or her resources with the potential to use home care services to maximize health status and independence.…”

Levels and predictors of out-of-pocket home care expenditures for the disabled elderly are examined using a sample of users of home care with out-of-pocket expenditures from the 1984 National Long Term Care Survey (N = 856). Multiple regression results indicate need, specifically functional ability, adds the most explanation to out-ofpocket home care expenditures. Education, marital status, asset availability, prior nursing home use, and population density, while significant, add relatively little explanation to the total variance. Implications for prevention education and long-term care policy are discussed.

“…At the same time, due to their cost, not all private housing options are equally accessible to all seniors. For example, research from the U.S. on non-institutionalized housing shows that usage of home care is positively related to income level (Hanley & Wiener, 1991 ;Stum, Bauer, & Delaney, 1996 ). In Canada, Sullivan and Baranek ( 2003 ) found that seniors who receive care in the home incur more out-of-pocket expenses than seniors living in long-term care facilities.…”

Using the 2002 Aging and Social Support Survey (GSS16), multinomial logit regression, and cohort-component projection techniques, this study explored how social support networks, health, and economic characteristics have shaped the residential choices of older Canadians, and predicts how they are likely to do so in the future. It focused on the distribution of 55-to-75-year-olds across three private-dwelling types: general community living, age-restricted housing, and age-restricted housing with nursing care. The analysis shows that social support characteristics are the strongest predictors of dwelling type, meaning that individuals appear to choose their dwellings largely on the basis of their social needs and wants, rather than on their economic or health characteristics. The analysis also indicates an increased age-specific demand for all dwelling types in the future, but with a reduction of over 2 million older Canadians living in dwellings in the general community between 2002 and 2022.
