Projections by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) show by 2021 the number of elderly people will have grown by 200,000. This group will be living and being cared for in a range of different settings. The figures on housing for Irish older adults show that 7% of people aged 65 and over live in nursing homes or hospitals, 27% live alone at home and 67% live with spouses, families or others. The numbers living in nursing homes or hospitals increases with age: 12% of people aged 80- 84 and 25% of people aged 85 and over.
The aim of this module is to explore the health care support needs of the older adult living in this range of settings.
