Description
Many frail older adults in Israel receive care at home, from family alone or from family plus paid formal help. Rabia Khalaila asks how the type of care relates to quality of life, and what sits in between. She surveys 360 adults aged 65 and older living in the community.
Combined formal and family care was tied to lower quality of life than family-only care. That link ran fully through loneliness, social isolation, and lower satisfaction with family support. Satisfaction with family relationships itself was not a mediator, though it tracked with better quality of life. Khalaila warns that adding formal care can backfire if it thins family contact. She urges practitioners to keep families closely involved alongside paid help.
