End-Of-Life Care
In this month's issue of Health Affairs, Helena Temkin-Greener and
coauthors investigate end-of-life care in assisted living communities
.
The authors examine associations of both death at home and home hospice
care with individual characteristics, such as race or ethnicity and dual
Medicare-Medicaid enrollment; community characteristics; and the
stringency of state-level assisted living regulations.
Among assisted living residents enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare who
died in 2018-19, Temkin-Greener and coauthors find that dual
Medicare-Medicaid enrollees were significantly less likely to die at
home and more likely to die in hospitals or nursing homes compared with
non-dual enrollees.
They also find that Black residents, regardless of dual enrollment
status, were significantly less likely than White residents to have been
enrolled in hospice at death.
"Although dual enrollment status was significantly associated with lower
odds of hospice care, race appeared to be even more influential," the
authors conclude.
