Home healthcare is a service model for which there is a currently growing need, especially for elderly patients. The examination of the home healthcare requirement risks under certain headings is of great importance for institutions or units providing home healthcare and for individuals applying for these services. To fill this gap, a 2-grade (yes/no) scale has been developed comprising 21 items to measure the home healthcare requirement risks of elderly patients in Turkey. In the context of the development of the scale, following a pilot study, a trial form of the scale was applied to 506 elderly individuals in the province of Burdur. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis was applied to the data, using R program, SPSS vn 24 (IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences) and Lisrel 8.7 software. The scale that emerged at the end of the analysis comprised two dimensions; “The General Health Status and Physical Autonomy of the Patient” and “The Suitability of the Living Area of the Patient and the Economic Status”. The KMO value calculated for the scale was 0.603. the KR-20 internal consistency coefficient calculated was 0.895 for the first dimension, 0.680 for the second dimension and 0.840 for the whole scale.
