Assessing the Needs of Elder Floridians, January 2012
The Florida Department of Elder Affairs recently conducted a statewide survey to measure elder Floridians’ needs. Questions were asked about elders’ living situation, self care limitations, nutrition, housing, healthcare, and other matters especially affecting the geriatric population. Results were compiled for analysis at the state as well as Planning and Service Area (PSA) levels. Special state-level tabulations for “hard-to-measure” populations of minority, low-income, and rural elders were also included.Â
The survey instrument is comprised of 82 questions divided among the following 16 categories:
|
Demographic Profile Living Situation Self Care Limitations Caregiving Health and Health Promotion Information and Assistance Nutrition Senior Centers |
Transportation Community Housing Volunteerism Employment Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Legal Assistance Disaster Preparedness |
