Abstract

Having an adult child living with or nearby may prevent parents with disability from moving to nursing homes and reduce the use of paid care services. Despite the profound implications for care resources and utilization among older adults, there is no measure summarizing the spatial availability of all adult children for an older adult. Our study aims to develop a holistic measure of adult children's spatial availability to assess potential family care resources for older adults with disability.
