Older people in Sweden increasingly enter long-term care with extensive care needsa register study of first-time users based on the SNAC Stockholm Eldercare study / Bettina Meinow... [et al.] Sumario: This register-based study analyses first-time entry into publicly funded long-term care among older adults in Stockholm between 2015 and 2022. Using data from the SNAC Stockholm Elder care study, it examines sociodemographic characteristics, care needs at entry, and the type and amount of care granted. Results show an increasing proportion of older people entering long-term care with extensive dependency, particularly in activities of daily living. The findings highlight the interaction between care needs, informal care, and policy frameworks, and raise concerns about delayed entry into long-term care and missed opportunities for early intervention En: European Journal of Ageing : social, behavioural and health perspectives. - Cham, Switzerland [etc.] : Springer International Publishing AG, 2021-. - 21/12/2026 Volumen 22 Número 2 - 2026 , 13 p. 1.
