Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.
State spending keeps childless seniors out of nursing homes
Health Care :: State spending keeps childless seniors out of nursing homes
Older Americans without children have a much lower risk of being admitted to a nursing home if they live in a state that spends more on home- and community-based services (HCBS), according to an article published in the latest issue of the Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences (Vol. 62B, No. 3).Although the association was not statistically significant older people with living children, they found that doubling state HCBS expenditures per person over age 65 would reduce the risk of nursing home admission among childless seniors by 35 percent.
Citing previous research, the authors found that some states spend as little as $35 per person each year on HCBS for seniors, while other states spend more than $1,300 annually.
