We used population-representative data to evaluate the effects of HC services use on the long-term functional performance of older adults. Method: This longitudinal study used latent growth curve modeling, measured as trajectories in activities of daily living (ADL) ability. We retrieved data for 1,851 care recipients from the Long-Term Care Service Management System database. Results: Continuous use of HC services had positive effects on functional performance over time of declining functional capacity (β =.075, p <.05). While greater age was associated with slower increases in ADL scores, being female and living alone were associated with faster increases in ADL scores. Discussion: Continuous use of the HC services provided has a significant impact on maintaining or improving functional performance among older adults in the early stage of declined functional capacity. |
