“…Data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates an upward trend in living alone, especially among older adults, with 36.1% of women and 18.9% of men living alone over the age of 65 (34). While there appears to be much research indicating the link between living alone and psychological distress (43)(44)(45), our review of the literature indicates a gap in research on living alone and financial difficulties in the U.S., especially for older adults or racial/ethnic minorities (46,47). Those who live alone may have sufficient income to support themselves, negating the need to live with others, or conversely those who live with others may be able to afford a higher standard of living than those living alone through combined income and resources.…”

Background: While financial difficulties correlate with mental and physical health status, less is known about these associations among economically disadvantaged African-American (AA) older adults. Objective: This study explored mental and physical health correlates of financial difficulties among AA older adults in low-income areas of south Los Angeles. Methods: A cross-sectional study on 740 AA older adults (age ≥ 55 years) conducted in South Los Angeles between 2015 and 2018. Independent variable was financial difficulties. Outcomes were depressive symptoms, chronic pain, chronic medical conditions, self-reported health, and sick days. Age, gender, educational attainment, living alone, marital status, smoking, and drinking were also measured. Zero order (unadjusted) and partial (adjusted) correlates of financial difficulties were calculated for data analysis. Adjusted (partial) bivariate correlations controlled for age, gender, education, marital status, living alone, and health insurance. Results: In adjusted analyses, financial difficulties were positively associated with chronic pain, chronic medical conditions, self-rated health, sick days, and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Financial difficulties seem to be linked to chronic pain, chronic medical conditions, self-rated health, sick days, and depressive symptoms. The results advocate for evaluation of social determinants of health in providing health care of AA older adults. Addressing financial difficulties may help with the health promotion of low-income AA older adults in urban areas.

“…In addition to understanding the RLTC settings in the context of the ACAP process, living arrangement decisions are important for other reasons. Gerontological studies show living arrangements are key predictors of need and well-being in later life [44–45]. Where close familial support in unavailable, many older Australians require additional resources to fulfil this unmet need, placing greater strain on government services [44].…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence and correlates of recommended long term care settings following aged care assessments in Australia. Using unique administrative data on 500,000 aged care assessments, we utilized multinomial logistic regression models to estimate the association between characteristics of the individual (their assistance needs, health conditions and demographic characteristics) and the recommended long-term care setting. The vast majority (94%) of recommended long-term care settings were for private residences (54%) or residential care (40%). Persons assessed in a setting other than a private residence were unlikely to have a recommended setting for a private residence. Consistent with the assessors toolkit, assistance needs were strongly associated with long term care recommendations. Results provide strong support for the evidence-based approach of aged care assessments in Australia. Nonetheless, with improvements in administrative data linkages and ongoing policy reforms, further analysis is required to reinforce extant policy guidelines.
