Abstract Over the past 10 years, dementia care has been shifting to the community; however, there are significant regional and sociodemographic differences in the use of formal home health care services. Does the use of home health care improve survival and other outcomes among people diagnosed with dementia? The aim of the study was to determine the individual, societal, and health systems predictors of survival after a diagnosis of dementia. Using linked Medicare administrative, claims, and assessment data (N = 4,349,565); we found that home health care significantly reduced risk of death for males, but not females. This effect was strongest among older adults between the ages of 65 and 80. While men who were living alone or in a congregate/assisted living environment benefited the most (O.R. = 0.87) the effect was also strong for men living with a spouse or other caregiver (O.R. = 0.90). These findings suggest home health care may provide a survival advantage for men through the provision of rehabilitative and supportive services, as well as patient and family caregiver education. Further research is needed to understand if sex based survival differences are associated with the intensity of home health care services provided or social determinants of health.

Home health care is professional medical and non-medical care delivered in the home (home refers to a private residence, an assisted living facility, or a group home) to assist ill, injured, or disabled seniors or adults remain safely at home for as long as possible. As the population ages, and the numbers of Baby Boomers age 85 and older increases, it is likely that there will be a growing need for long-term care, including home health care. In this article, the role of social work in home health care is reviewed as it is impacted by sources of payment and demographic characteristics of home care users. Social work assessment and intervention in home health care is also discussed with a focus on effective referral practices.
