In-Home Services for the Dependent Elderly
Determinants of Current Use and Implications for Future Demand
Beth J. Soldo
Georgetown University
Nationally representative data are used to examine the factors affecting the service utilization patterns of disabled elderly in the community. The probability of formal service use was found to respond directly to the severity of care needs and indirectly to the availability of informal care providers. The analysis suggests that, at extreme levels of need, frail elderly and their families overcome the price and supply barriers that characterize today's home care market to secure at least some outside assistance.
