Can your house keep you out of a nursing home?
研究了荷兰老年人住房的可及性（如无障碍设施）对入住养老院概率的影响，发现住房越方便，老年人越少使用养老院护理，尤其对高龄和身体受限者效果更明显。
We examine the impact of the accessibility of an older individual's house on her use of nursing home care. We link administrative data on the accessibility of all houses in the Netherlands to data on long-term care use of all older persons from 2011 to 2014. We find that older people living in more accessible houses are less likely to use nursing home care. The effects increase with age and are largest for individuals aged 90 or older. The effects are stronger for people with physical limitations than for persons with cognitive problems. We also provide suggestive evidence that older people living in more accessible houses substitute nursing home care by home care.
