The median age of clients was 77 years and 75 percent were female. The majority had not completed high school. Almost half were widowed, had income levels of $20,000 (Canadian) or less, and lived alone. Approximately one-third needed help with most basic activities of daily living. The vast majority could not bathe or dress themselves. More than three-quarters needed help with preparing meals, housekeeping, and shopping. Few clients could perform yardwork and home repairs. Many clients' homes required major and minor repairs, were not suitable in size, were not affordable, and lacked important household amenities. More than 30 percent required modifications to enable clients to live and be cared for comfortably and safely, and half the clients had not completed these because of exorbitant costs. Overall, many clients were living in homes less than optimal for domestic life and long-term care provision. These results highlight significant gaps in care provision and a need to link housing to health and social service policies. </jats:p> Hitting Home: A Survey of Housing Conditions of Homes Used for Long-Term Care in Ontario International Journal of Health Services |
