Abstract EN
With the rapid aging of the world population, great pressure has been placed on the provision of community-based care in China.
This paper aimed to compare the demand and its determinants for various community-based care services among the elderly in the affordable housing community (AHC) and commercial housing community (CHC) of China.
Two community-based surveys were conducted separately in the AHC and CHC of Nanjing City, China.
In total, 408 valid questionnaires were returned from the Daishan AHC while 8422 valid questionnaires were received from the CHCs.
The chi square test indicated that the respondents in the AHC had significantly higher demands for five types of services (the meal-aid service, the cleaning-aid service, the bath-aid service, the rehabilitation therapy service, and the first-aid service) than those in the CHCs of Nanjing.
Further, the Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel test showed that factors influencing the elderly’s demands for these services varied across communities.
Several policy implications could be obtained to improve the efficiency of community-based care provision.
