Utilization and functional outcomes among Medicare home health recipients varied across living situations.
Home health (HH) is a major type of home-based skilled care available to Medicare beneficiaries. In this study, the investigators examined the association between living situation and utilization and functional outcomes among Medicare HH recipients. The investigators concluded that, in the study population, patients living with others at home had the highest risk of hospitalization and ED visits, whereas assisted living (AL) residents had the lowest risk of hospitalization and patients living alone at home had the lowest risk of ED visits.
