One anticipated consequence of the aging of societies around the world is an increase in the prevalence of chronic conditions and disability and a higher demand for long-term care, including home care (HC) services. In this study, the distinction between Home Health Care (HHC) services and Homemaking/Personal Support (HMPS) services is made. HHC services refer to health care services delivered by professional health care staff, whereas HMPS services refer to help with daily tasks, such as meal preparation, eating, toileting, personal hygiene, medication reminders, laundry, and transportation. Despite the differences between HHC and HMPS services, distinctions are often not made in the literature. The distinction may be an important one, however, since there are likely to be differences in the determinants of the demand for these two types of services. There is also the issue that once an individual has received either HHC or HMPS services that this may influence the likelihood that they receive the other type of service.
