5 The proportions of the old and oldest old in Europe is growing! That is probably accompanied by an increasing number of dependent persons; since age is the strongest risk factor for diseases and, hence, the occurrence of need for long-term care! 5

22 THREE QUESTIONS & THREE MODELS I. FAMILY MODEL How do family characteristics matter for the choice of a specific home care arrangement in general and in different European regions? II. HEALTH MODEL How do health factors matter for the home care arrangement chosen in general and in different regions of Europe? III. QoL MODEL How do home care arrangements and specific health parameters determine dependent people s quality of life? 22
23 DATA AND METHODS HOME CARE ARRANGEMENTS No care arrangement, no Limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) No care arrangement, Limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Formal and mixed care Informal care CARE means PERSONAL CARE Including help with activities (e.g.: dressing, bathing / showering, eating, getting in or out of bed...) But not help with domestic tasks or paper work. 23

31 SUMMARY RESULTS - FAMILY MODEL LIVING ARRANGEMENTS North: partner is decisive!!! South: no significant results - partners not important? Central: a co-living partner important GEOGRAPHICAL DISTANCE TO CLOSEST LIVING CHILD North: no significant results South: risk of informal care higher if daughter lives in the same HH Central: only significant results with higher risks of informal care if child lives near by, slightly higher if it is a daughter OCCUPATION OF CLOSTEST LIVING CHILD North: risk of formal care is somehow higher if child is retired South: if child works part-time or is not employed, risk of receiving no care increases significantly (instable circumstances?) Central: risk of formal care higher if child is retired (or not employed) 31

39 RESULTS - HEALTH MODEL REGIONAL PARTICULARITIES Results are quite similar for all three regions. Noticeable differences are: PHYSICAL HEALTH Highest risk of receiving formal and mixed care in Southern Europe, especially for stroke patients surprising! explanation: lack of institutions? MENTAL HEALTH North: risk of informal care is not at all significantly influenced Central: highest increase in the risk of informal care South: severely cognitive impaired persons show higher risks of all types of care 39

44 FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH POOR QUALITY OF LIFE SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE Higher age Male gender Living without a partner Not participating in social activities Having difficulties to make ends meet Thinking there will be changes leading to worsening of living standard To be in need of care Activity limitations (severity grade) Diagnosis of cancer or stroke Cognitive impairments (severity grade) Having a depression NO SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE Living area Education Distance to closest living child Heart attack diagnosis Care arrangement does not really matter 44
45 SUMMARY & POLICY IMPLICATIONS / take-away-service-sign-painted-on-a-stucco-wall.jpg FAMILY Old people who live without a partner carry a very high risk of receiving no care although they suffer from limitations also if they have children. Part-time work as an instrument to balance employment and care for dependent elderly seems to be underrepresented. A new caregiver generation (old & retired) needs special and different support than caregiving persons that are still young and have to balance work and care. In Southern Europe formal care has to be established more widely. 45
46 SUMMARY & POLICY IMPLICATIONS / take-away-service-sign-painted-on-a-stucco-wall.jpg HEALTH Formal and mixed care: Cognitive impairments ( Dementia) & physical diseases like strokes, heart attacks or cancer Informal care: Depressions and activity limitations Mild forms of disabilities are rather connected with receiving no care. Southern countries: High formal care use, probably as a substitute for lacking care institutions 46
47 SUMMARY & POLICY IMPLICATIONS / take-away-service-sign-painted-on-a-stucco-wall.jpg QUALITY OF LIFE Quality of life is lowest in Southern and highest in Northern Europe. But people s perception and the institutionalised population have to be kept in mind. It is rather the care need than the type of care that has an impact on the quality of life. 47

50 Slovenia The institutional care is a form of care with the longest tradition in Slovenia and is the most spread in all Slovenian regions. In the last years many new homes for elderly were open or modernized. In the end of 2007 there were 55 public homes for elderly and 18 private homes for elderly in Slovenia. In public homes there were places and in private homes places were offered. In the end of 2006 there were people older than 65 living in residential homes. According to the Strategy for elderly, the aim is to provide capacities to accept 5% of the population aged 65+ in the homes for elderly this means that there is a lack of beds (the capacities cover 4,4% of the population aged 65+). The waiting lists for institutional care do exist on the national level but are unfortunately not updated and not accurate as well as overstrained: they cannot be used for planning and policy making purposes. In many homes the day care centres were opened, which have around 200 places. There is also nine sheltered housing available for more than 300 recipients. In homes for elderly there is more than half of persons aged 80+. Among them there are 86% of women. 50
