本研究利用老年人社区合作调查的数据，考察了家庭和社区服务（HCBS）的利用与感知服务需求之间的关系。在脆弱的，社区居住的老年人样本中（N = 2001），成人日计划，家务管理，高级午餐，帮助热线或个人援助服务的用户更有可能表示他们需要定期帮助以保持自己的生活。相比之下，老年人中心、个人助理或访问护士服务的用户更有可能表示他们会因为健康问题而搬出去。家庭维修服务用户不太可能认为需要搬迁。研究结果对改善长期护理和支持服务系统以满足社区居住老年人当前和未来的需求具有重要意义。
This study examines the relationship between home- and community-based service (HCBS) utilization and perceived service needs for aging in place versus relocation, using the data from the Community Partnership for Older Adults Survey. Among the vulnerable, community-dwelling older adult sample (N = 2,001), users of adult day programs, housekeeping, senior lunch, helpline, or personal assistance services were more likely to indicate they would need regular help to remain living on their own. By contrast, users of senior centers, personal assistance, or visiting nurse services were more likely to indicate they would move out due to health problems. Home repair service users were less likely to perceive the need for relocation. Findings have implications for improving long-term care and supportive service systems to meet the current and future needs of community-dwelling older adults.
