    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Sociology of Health
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Non-clinical institutional care is prevalent for elderly long-term care in Germany.
    • Understanding the utilization patterns of geriatric and old people's homes is crucial for public health planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the probability of elderly residents in Mannheim utilizing institutional care.
    • To analyze the impact of socio-demographic factors on admission to care facilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective data collection from deceased individuals aged 65+ in Mannheim (1982).
    • Analysis of admission age, prior residence, stay duration, death details, and financial basis of care.

    Main Results:

    • While only 4% of the elderly population is in institutional care at any given time, approximately 20% will use such care before death.
    • Mannheim's utilization rates are typical for the Federal Republic of Germany.

    Conclusions:

    • Geriatric and old people's homes play a more significant social role than occupancy rates alone suggest.
    • These institutions are vital for a substantial portion of the elderly population's end-of-life care.
