Abstract

This article examines levels of service awareness and use, correlates of use, and reasons for nonuse for a sample of 250 residents aged sixty and over of a small city. A regression analysis reveals that service use is greater for those elderly who are aware of more services, are not married, have less education, use their cars less, report a greater number of sick days, and have less contact with their children. Lack of need is identified as the major reason for nonuse.
