Telehealth Use by Residence Type in Older Adults Receiving Long-Term Services and Supports: The US National Core Indicators Survey (2021-2022)

Telehealth can improve access to geriatric care, especially for vulnerable older adults facing transportation, mobility, and/or health-related barriers to in-person care. However, integrating telehealth into geriatric care requires consideration of the different residence types where older adults use telehealth. This study aimed to examine whether telehealth use among older adults using long-term services and supports (LTSS) differs by residence type, after adjusting for demographic and health-related factors, using data from the National Core Indicators-Aging and Disabilities Adult Consumer Survey.
