Kurzfassung:
This study investigated the determinants and use of long‐term care (LTC) service by persons with dementia (PWDs) and their caregivers. PWDs who used LTC services had more severe neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs), poorer cognitive function, and inferior ability to engage in activities of daily living (ADLs) and placed a greater burden on their caregivers. More aberrant motor behaviors, greater ADL limitations, greater caregiver burden, not residing with family members, and not employing migrant caregivers were the factors most significantly associated with LTC service use. These factors should be considered in future policy amendments to provide care resources for PWDs and meet the needs of PWDs and their caregivers.
