Care Arrangement

Abstract At some point in our lives, approximately 70% of us will need support to help with daily care. Without adequate assistance we may experience unmet care need consequences (UCNC) – such as skipping meals, going without clean clothes, or taking the wrong medication. This study examines the likelihood of experiencing UCNC related to gaps in assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) across long-term care arrangements: informal community care, paid community care, residential care, and nursing homes. We examine a sample of older adults receiving assistance in a care arrangement (N=2,499) from the nationally representative 2015 National Health and Aging Trends Study. Cross-sectional and longitudinal regression models, adjusting for differences in demographic and health/functioning characteristics, examine if type of care arrangement in 2015 is associated with UCNC in 2015 and change in UCNC by 2017. Holding all else constant, there were no significant differences in UCNC related to ADLs in 2015 across care arrangements. However, those receiving paid community care were more likely to experience UCNC related to IADLs (going without clean clothes, groceries, or a hot meal and making medication errors) compared to those receiving only informal care (OR=1.64, p<.05) or residential care (OR=2.19, p<.01). By 2017, paid care was also significantly associated with continued UCNC, but older adults in informal care arrangements were most likely to experience a new UCNC. Results suggest improving/expanding assistance with IADLs among community-dwelling older adults, and promoting equitable access to residential care, to reduce UCNC.

Japanese Older Adults

AbstractThis study examined the differences in the preference for long-term care (LTC) by age, period and cohort (A-P-C) in Japanese older adults through repeated cross-sectional surveys from 1998 – before the establishment of LTC insurance – to 2016, in a suburban city of metropolitan Tokyo. We analysed the direct effects of A-P-C on the preference for LTC, as well as the interaction effects of A-P-C on preference by gender, family structure and activities of daily living. Data were obtained at six time-points using repeated cross-sectional surveys for people aged 65 and older; surveys were conducted in 1998, 2002, 2004, 2010, 2013 and 2016. The preference for LTC was composed of three categories: informal care, community LTC services (CLTCS) and institutional LTC services (ILTCS). The cross-classified random-effect model was used to specify A-P-C effects. Informal care, CLITCS, ILTCS and other/no answer composed 35, 23, 33 and 9 per cent of preferences, respectively. In terms of the period effect, while there was an increase in levels of preference for CLTC between 1998 and 2010 as compared to informal care, the levels of preference were almost identical after 2010. In terms of the age effect, younger participants were more likely to prefer CLTCS and ILTCS over informal care. Moreover, the age influence was stronger in females and respondents who lived alone. We did not observe a cohort effect for preference. This study suggests that there are gaps by period and age between the preference for LTC services and the actual LTC use in Japanese older adults, and as a result, the use of actual LTC services cannot fully reflect the intentions and preference for LTC in them.
