Abstract

This study examines the relationship between home- and community-based service (HCBS) utilization and perceived service needs for aging in place versus relocation, using the data from the Community Partnership for Older Adults Survey. Among the vulnerable, community-dwelling older adult sample (N = 2,001), users of adult day programs, housekeeping, senior lunch, helpline, or personal assistance services were more likely to indicate they would need regular help to remain living on their own. By contrast, users of senior centers, personal assistance, or visiting nurse services were more likely to indicate they would move out due to health problems. Home repair service users were less likely to perceive the need for relocation. Findings have implications for improving long-term care and supportive service systems to meet the current and future needs of community-dwelling older adults.
