Caregiving needs are unmet for many older homeless adults: findings from the Hope Home study.
Researchers described characteristics of older homeless-experienced adults with caregiving need and determined factors associated with having unmet need. Using data from the longitudinal study, Health Outcomes in People Experiencing Homelessness in Older Middle Age (HOPE HOME), they found that better self-rated health and being a man were associated with higher odds of unmet need. Moderate or high-risk substance use was associated with lower odds of unmet need. They recommended interventions that increase caregiving access for homeless-experienced individuals in order to avoid poor health outcomes and costly long-term-care needs due to untreated disabilities.
