Synopsis

This project will examine trajectories into and through the aged care system, to consider how the patterns and use of aged care are influenced by changing needs and circumstances throughout late life. The aim is to examine different patterns and pathways through community and residential aged care for a large cohort of older Australian women, and to understand how different levels of care operate across time and in accordance with the changing levels of need.
