Patterns of multidimensional social exclusion among older home care services recipients

The guiding principle of current aging policies has been to promote older adults to live in their private homes, but little attention has been paid to social exclusion of older adults receiving home-based care. The aim of this study is to increase understanding on different patterns of multidimensional social exclusion among older adults receiving formal home care services, and through this to shed light on the possible challenges of current aging-in-place policies.
