Main Results:

  • Over half a million individuals received publicly funded home care in 1994/95.
  • Elderly individuals, females, those with multiple chronic conditions, and individuals living with others constituted significant proportions of recipients.
  • Key factors associated with home care receipt included advanced age, poor health, low income, living alone, functional dependency, and specific diagnoses like cancer or stroke after-effects.

Conclusions:

  • The profile of home care recipients highlights a population with complex health and social needs.
  • Identifying specific demographic and health-related predictors can inform targeted interventions and support systems for home care users.
