Abstract

This study examines the impact of where health care is received on the life satisfaction of older adults. Using a questionnaire, this study surveyed 241 individuals receiving care in six health care environments. Life satisfaction was assessed using the Life Satisfaction in the Elderly Scale. Results indicated that individuals residing in long-term care facilities have higher overall levels of well-being. Those receiving home health care had the lowest. Score patterns are reviewed and possible explanations discussed.
