Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Accessing High-Quality Home Health Care Among Older Adults With and Without Dementia

Home health care (HHC) plays a pivotal role in serving millions of US adults aging in place. Although the HHC population is growing rapidly in both size and diversity, driven by an aging US population and a changing demographic profile, there are increasing concerns of equity in HHC, particularly regarding how vulnerable populations are affected under current HHC practices. The purpose of this study was to examine the variations in accessing high-quality HHC in racial and ethnic minority groups and persons living with dementia.
