Abstract

The Utilization of Different Modes of Residence and Health Services by the Elderly
Download The Utilization of Different Modes of Residence and Health Services by the Elderly [PDF - <1.0 MB]

Demand for health services are examined among Americans ages 65 and older using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Analyses are provided of mode of residence, demand for paid health services in private settings, and the choice of type of nursing home using a common set of explanatory variables. The research shows that age, Medicare coverage, and the use of assistive technology are the strongest predictors of mode of residence. The second analysis shows that total expenditures for paid home health care (HHC) and hospital care do not decrease as expected when the percentage paid by individuals and/or their families increases. Finally, the third analysis suggests that the distribution of nursing home (NH) services is related to ability to pay.
