Elderly applicants to long-term care institutions. I. Their characteristics, health problems and state of mind. Abstract Text:

As part of a study of long-term institutional care of the elderly, this report presents a comparison of the characteristics, health problems, and state of mind of 193 elderly applicants for such care (Group A) with those of 141 elderly persons living independently in the community (Group I). Group A members were older, living with a spouse less often, and had low incomes. They showed much more cerebrovascular disease, incontinence, recent loss of independence in the activities of daily living, dementia, recent hospitalization, loneliness, and depression. They had had much less recent involvement in social and recreational activities, although most had not been socially isolated. They had received more extensive help from relatives and friends, and it seemed unlikely that additional help from these sources would keep many more of these elderly persons out of institutions. Community agencies and services had been used by a relatively low proportion of Group A, and hardly at all by Group I.
