Abstract:
This study aimed to describe how older adults with complex health problems manage their everyday lives in their own homes and how they interact with given home care. In this multiple-case study, a total of 14 individual interviews were conducted with five older adults over the course of one year. Deductive and inductive content analyses were performed. Three descriptive categories were each identified in the deductive ('home care as interpersonal continuity', 'home care as information continuity' and 'home care as management continuity') and inductive analyses ('Lack of social contact with carers', 'Desire to be heard throughout the care process' and 'Carers are short on time'). Quality home care services are difficult to realize if interpersonal interaction is subordinated to effective task-solving.
