Younger Nursing Home Residents
Although there have been substantial efforts to reduce the number of
elderly adults in nursing homes, October issue authors Ari Ne'eman and
colleagues find little change in nursing home use
for people with disabilities who are younger than age sixty-five.
Using data from 2013-19, Ne'eman and colleagues indicate that rates of
state-level nursing home placement stagnated or grew among those younger
than age sixty-five.
According to Ne'eman and colleagues, younger residents are more likely
to be men, be members of a racial or ethnic minority, and reside in a
lower-quality and for-profit nursing home as compared to older nursing
home residents.
The authors examine the value of considering younger people with
disabilities as a distinct population, and provide policy ideas to
divert this population from nursing homes to home and community-based
settings.
