Aging in Place: Do Older Americans Act Title III Services Reach Those Most Likely to Enter Nursing Homes - Issue Brief
07/01/2010 | 786 Requests *Summary
First in a series, this brief presents findings from AoA’s National Survey of Older Americans Act Program Participants. Findings indicated that Title III participants were at a higher risk of entering a nursing home compared to others in their age group. The authors conclude that AoA, however, is effectively reaching those most at risk of institutionalization, and that Title III services play an important role in helping elderly adults remain living independently in the community.
