Abstract

Long-Term Care - statistics & numerical data Delivery of Health Care - organization & administration Managed Care Programs - organization & administration Humans Risk Factors Data Collection Homes for the Aged - organization & administration Aged, 80 and over Utilization Review Aged Longitudinal Studies Nursing Homes - statistics & numerical data United States
The use of nursing home services among 3,316 residents of six continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) was compared with that of the general elderly population. CCRC residents have a greater lifetime risk of nursing home entry and repeat entries. CCRC resident's length of stay per admission, however, is shorter. Findings from this comparative analysis provided insight into nursing home use in an insured and managed long term care program for a closed population.
