Aversion to institutionalized care
- Distrust of nursing homes
- Prejudice against health care institutions
Incidence
A 1997 survey of over 3,000 patients at 5 American hospitals reported that 30% of them would rather die than live permanently in a nursing home.
The decision to place a person in a nursing home often lies not with the patient but with the insurance coverage. Many insurance plans will pay for nursing home care but not for professional care at home.
