Cognitive Impairment, Caregiver Burden, and the Utilization of Home Health Services

University of Victoria

This study addresses the relationship between caregiver burden and the use of home health services among older adults with cognitive impairment. Analyses draw on data from personal interviews conducted with 327 older adults with cognitive impairment and living in the community of their primary caregivers. Using the Andersen-Newman framework, the results of ordinary least squares and logistic regression analyses reveal that caregiver burden and formal home health service use are only weakly related. Possible explanations for the findings are discussed.
