Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Healthcare Management
  • Urban Planning

Background:

  • California faces a growing need for residential care services for its aging population.
  • Existing residential care distribution may not align with the geographical distribution of need.
  • Understanding these disparities is crucial for equitable resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the geographical distribution of residential care supply in California.
  • To identify disparities between the need for and availability of residential care beds.
  • To map concentrations of small and large residential care facilities in key urban areas.

Main Methods:

  • Mapping the ratio of residential care beds to older women in Los Angeles and San Diego County census tracts.
  • Analyzing facility concentrations based on size (small vs. large) within the Cities of Los Angeles and San Diego.
  • Geospatial analysis to identify patterns and clusters.

Main Results:

  • The highest ratios of residential care beds per older woman were observed on the border of San Diego City and the periphery of Los Angeles County.
  • Small residential care facilities are clustered in northern Los Angeles and southeastern San Diego.
  • Large residential care facilities are concentrated in Downtown Los Angeles and near La Jolla.

Conclusions:

  • Significant geographical disparities exist in residential care supply and need across California.
  • These findings can inform strategic planning for residential care facility development.
  • Collaboration between developers, providers, and agencies is essential to address underserved areas.
