JHHSA, Vol. 38 No. 1, (2015)

By determining the payer source for single, elderly women, the next generation of women can prepare for high nursing home costs by saving earlier or investing in long-term care insurance. The analyses indicated self-pay and Medicaid was the primary sources for elderly women in nursing homes. Marital status did not have an impact on the payer source for elderly women.
