  • 2. Aging in the community: Factors associated with home adaptations and receipt of informal care, home care, and community support services among older Canadians
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500700002
    Description: Most older Canadians would prefer to stay in their own homes and communities rather than move to long-term care (LTC) facilities. A growing older population, limited LTC capacity, and costs have increased demand for initiatives that enable people to age in their communities for as long as possible. Using data from the 2019/2020 Canadian Health Survey on Seniors, this study examined the use of four types of supports and services—home adaptations, informal care, home care, and community support services—among community-dwelling Canadians aged 65 or older.

  • 3. Health and care-receiving profiles and unmet home care needs among community-dwelling Canadians aged 85 years and older
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500500002
    Description: The population aged 85 and older is one of the fastest-growing age groups. Previous studies have identified several factors associated with unmet home care needs, including living arrangements, education, income, access to a regular medical doctor, chronic conditions, health status, and functional limitations. However, less is known about the extent to which unmet home care needs vary across the health and care-receiving profiles of the oldest-old Canadians. This study aims to enhance the understanding of the heterogeneity among the community-dwelling population aged 85 years and older in Canada.

  • 1. Factors associated with nursing home entry for elders in Manitoba, Canada Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X19990015676
    Description:

    As the population ages, a greater demand for long-term care services and, in particular, nursing homes is expected. Policy analysts continue to search for alternative, less costly forms of care for the elderly and have attempted to develop programs to delay or prevent nursing-home entry. Health care administrators required information for planning the future demand for nursing-home services. This study assesses the relative importance of predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics in predicting and understanding nursing-home entry.
