- The aim of the study was to investigate functional ability and health complaints of people, 65+, living in special accommodation and their counterparts who live at home and receive public care or a combination of public and informal care. Persons (n=1958) in receipt of municipal care were assessed in terms of functional ability, health complaints, and level of informal and municipal care and services. The results showed that more home care, services and help with IADL were provided to those receiving only public care at home, while more home care and services associated with PADL as well as nursing care were provided to those in receipt of informal care. Cohabitation was a predictor of a combination of public and informal care in the home (OR 5.935), while assistance with IADL provided by public home care and services predicted public care only (OR 0.344). Care in special accommodation was predicted by advanced age (OR 1.051), dependency in IADL (OR 19.883) and PADL (OR 2.695), and impaired cognitive ability (OR 3.849) with receipt of public care only as a reference. Living alone (OR 0.106), dependency in IADL (OR 11.348) and PADL (OR 2.506), impaired cognitive ability (OR 3.448), impaired vision or blindness (OR 1.812) and the absence of slowly healing wounds (OR 0.407) were predictors of special accommodation with a combination of informal and public care at home as a reference. The distribution of municipal care divided older people into three distinct groups. The most frail and elderly people who had no cohabitants received care in special accommodation, determined by their level of physical and cognitive dependency. The frailest individuals living at home were cohabiting and received a combination of public and informal care, while those who were less dependent mainly had help with IADL from public care only.
