More detailed knowledge is needed in Sweden about how the service and care needs of elders are met and to what extent the help is provided as formal or informal support. A study of elders (75+) living at home in a rural municipality, showed that the majority of those interviewed(n=421) were fairly independent regarding basic ADL as well as instrumental ADL. Those requiring help received this mainly as informal support. The results of this study indicate that formal care has a complementary role to informal support, even when formal care is relatively well developed. |
