| Annotation | Based on data from an 8-year longitudinal study of Ohio's long-term care use patterns, this paper describes the changes now being experienced by this industry. Although Ohio has been a state with a heavy reliance on institutional services, the data suggest a change in how long-term care is provided in the state. Over the past eight years, despite an increasing disabled older population, nursing home occupancy rates have fallen from 92.5% to 83.5%. At the same time, in-home service and assisted living use has increased. The paper concludes by describing how such changes are likely to impact the system of the future. (KJ/RH). |
