Association of Sensory Impairment With Institutional Care Willingness Among Older Adults in Urban and Rural China: An Observational Study

Abstract

Our results underscore that the relationship between SI and institutional care willingness varied by place of residence, and provide a reference for making targeted and appropriate endowment policies. Improving the quality of institutional elder care is vital for urban older adults with SI, whereas community-based care might be more appropriate for rural older adults with SI.
