Comparison of the Cost of Home Care and Social Care for Disabled Elderly People

Xiaojun Ma

Abstract


The results of the data show that both home care and social care are significantly associated with the number of hours of care and
the cost of care. the degree of disability of the elderly with disabilities also significantly affects the hours of care and the cost of care, with
higher levels of disability significantly increasing the number of hours of care and the cost of care. Demographic characteristics such as age,
gender, and urban/rural location of the disabled elderly also significantly affect the cost of care. Therefore, the improvement of the elderly
service system should be based on the intensity and characteristics of the care needs of the elderly.
