Elderly Care

Overview

Elderly care encompasses the range of health, social, and supportive services provided to older adults to maintain their well-being, independence, and quality of life. Research published in this journal addresses multiple dimensions of elderly care across diverse global settings, including access barriers and facilitators within health systems, the impact of government-sponsored insurance on out-of-pocket spending, and nutritional status in rural populations. Studies examine end-of-life care needs in long-term care settings, health-related quality of life among older persons with non-communicable diseases receiving primary healthcare, and the management of chronic conditions in general practice. The journal has also published work on vulnerable elderly populations, including climate migrants experiencing abuse and neglect, and family-based medication management for older adults with type-2 diabetes in borderland communities. Recent contributions explore how the COVID-19 pandemic affected care delivery and care relationships in urban settings. This body of research matters because aging populations worldwide face complex healthcare needs that intersect with economic constraints, systemic barriers, family dynamics, and environmental challenges, requiring evidence-based approaches to ensure dignified, accessible, and effective care for older adults across varied cultural and resource contexts.
