Description
Tetyana Shippee, Taylor Bucy, John Mulcahy, and Eric Jutkowitz measured unmet care needs in older adults in a 2023 study. Their group used home and community based services, care that lets older people stay at home. Such care varies by state, and no shared yardstick tracks its quality, so gaps stay hard to see.
The sample held 13,459 older adults from a national survey. About fifteen percent had memory loss disease. Those adults used personal care the most and wanted more help for caregivers and more rides than they got. Gaps also shifted by race and ethnic group. The authors say the pattern shows where home care falls short for the people who lean on it most.
