Some studies point out that an imbalance between supply and demand of HCBS policies inhibits the accessibility of HCBC services. A discrete choice experiment was conducted to elicit 520 Chinese older adults' preferences regarding HCBC. The results show that older adults have different preferences related to five HCBC policy factors: community aged care facilities, medical service provision, aged care service price, older adult-family support approach, and workforce development. Further analysis yields that characteristics of HCBC policy preferences include older adults' friendly community building, health care functions, and physical support. However, the analysis also highlights that important aspects such as family support, HCBC pricing, and caregivers, are often neglected in these preferences. Accordingly, it is recommended to create friendly communities for older adults, improve the utilization of medical services, establish nonpublic and nonprofit social organizations, and set up reasonable economic subsidies.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"435-450"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145076308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample includes 3,097 Medicaid beneficiaries aged 65 and older with difficulties in daily living (6,750 person-wave observations). Multivariate logit models were employed, controlling for individual socio-demographic factors, state and time fixed effects, and time-varying state-level characteristics. Among non-Hispanic White older adults, higher state-level HCBS spending was associated with a greater use of home health care services (β: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.25) and specialized health facilities (β: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.14, 0.34). These protective effects were less evident for Black and Hispanic older adults, though limited statistical power may have prevented detecting significant effects in these subgroups. The findings suggest inequities in the benefits of increased HCBS funding, with the benefits primarily concentrated among White older adults. Further research is needed to explore mechanisms behind these patterns, including structural barriers to LTSS access.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"926-942"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145233748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Elderly Family Planning Subsidy (EFPS) policy was introduced to provide extra financial support to this group and was expanded nationwide in 2012. This study investigated the relationship between EFPS use and health among EFPS-eligible older Chinese using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A total of 1,981 respondents were eligible for EFPS (i.e. aged 60 and above, had only one child, or were rural residents with two daughters). Respondents self-reported if they received EFPS in 2011, 2013, and 2015 and were followed up to 2018. Propensity score matching was used to match EFPS non-users with users based on their probability of using EFPS. Among the EFPS-eligible respondents, 256 (12.92%) used the benefit. Analysis revealed no significant differences between EFPS users and non-users with respect to mortality and other health outcomes (i.e. self-reported health, cognition, activities of daily living, chronic diseases, and depressive symptoms).

This study aimed to explore the dynamic process by which older adults adapt emotionally to residential care facilities, focusing on how their needs and stressors evolve over time. Using a grounded theory methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 residents from a large residential care facility in China, with data analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding. Findings revealed a three-stage adaptation process: (1) The adaptation stage, driven by security needs and familial burden reduction, where older adults primarily seek a comfortable environment; (2) The integration stage, addressing loneliness and fostering collective belonging, where older adults primarily seek to establish connections with others properly; and (3) The sublimation stage, focusing on self-identity, autonomy, and social value, where older adults primarily seek to find value and meaning in the remaining life. Emotional needs and stressors evolved dynamically across stages, reflecting shifts from external pressures to internal self-actualization. The study underscores the need for residential care facilities to adopt stage-specific interventions - ensuring safety, promoting group cohesion, and enabling self-directed engagement - to support holistic well-being and positive aging in China's rapidly aging society.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"553-573"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146020042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This new regulatory framework was developed by a group of stakeholders representing consumer advocates, provider advocates, and state government. However, assisted living providers who served culturally specific communities (Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color) in small facilities were largely absent from the development of this new license. As a result, several unintended consequences and challenges have emerged in implementation in these settings. We interviewed a sample of 14 licensed assisted living directors operating small, culturally specific communities to understand their experiences with the regulatory framework. After a qualitative analysis, four main themes emerged: (1) lack of participation in the initial license development, (2) challenges to implementation of license requirements, (3) inconsistency in and preparation for survey inspections, and (4) inadequate reimbursement and funding. To address these concerns, a number of recommendations were identified, which ranged from ensuring all stakeholders are engaged in policy development to developing a new rate setting methodology for Medicaid waivers. Although these recommendations are specific to Minnesota, they do have implications for other states and agencies who are developing similar regulations.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"894-910"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145233733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing a strengths-based perspective, documentary and thematic analysis for gray literature, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups are employed to bridge existing research gaps by highlighting the subjective agency of older adults. The findings reveal that while policies are robustly designed, their execution often fails to align with older adults' actual demands and expectations. Although public policies are generally well-intentioned, they often lack specificity and fail to accommodate the unique needs of the older population fully. Serving as active agents, older adults have the potential to contribute significantly to the making of AFNs, challenging the traditional view of them as mere beneficiaries.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"575-596"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143634862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
