The impact by race of changing long-term care policy
Article Abstract:
The influence of race and long-term care financing policies on the use of community and institutional long-term care by persons aged 65 and over are studied. Results show that about 7.3% of older whites used nursing homes compared to 5.4% of African-Americans. On the other hand, both whites and African Americans had similar utilization rates for community-based care. Public financing for long-term care also increased the usage of formal care.
