INTRODUCTION
1. Background of the study
As the numbers and proportion of the elderly population increase, service support for
them has been an important issue in contemporary health care. Physio-psychosocial
decline with ageing (Yates, Benton & Beck, 1993) and increasing incidence of chronic
conditions among the elderly (Johnson, 1990) have particular significance in relation to
support services for them.
Retirement village accommodation is a popular option for elderly people because of
convenient access to services(Low, 1993). Three types of accommodation in retirement
villages are identified in the forts of nursing homes, hostel units and salfcare units(New
South Wales(NSW) Department of Housing, 1990). Each type of retirement village is
differently assisted by government institutions and organizations and provides different
levels of services to their residents.
Continuous nursing and personal care for frail elderly people are available in nursing
homes. This includes bed, cleaning and laundry services, meals, and help to perform
daily tasks like eating, bathing and toileting, dressing and moving around(Orme,
Mckenzie, Kearney & Hayward, 1994).
Hostel units are also available for frail elderly people needing a comparatively high
level of care and who have difficulty managing at home, but they are not available for
individuals requiring twenty-four hour nursing care(Commonwealth Government, 1992). If
necessary, assistance to carry out daily living activities such as bathing, dressing and
eating are provided(Community Development and Service Division, 1992).
Self-care units are designed for independent living with only limited levels of care or
emergency care granted(Gibson, 1990). Private cooking, sleeping and washing facilities
are available or relevant facilities may be provided on a shared basis (Gibson, 1990).
Although some retirement villages provide optional services to the self-caring residents
as needs arise(Gledhill, 1993), the actual responsibilities are most likely entailed to the
residents as the charges are incurred to the residents (Illawarra Retirement Trust(IRT),
1996a). There is no apparent community support in association with self-care units in
retirement villages.
Accommodation allocation of retirement village residents is determined with respect to
the personal health status of the individual(IRT, 1996a). However, it is reported that in
some retirement villages, once accommodation is decided upon, then transfer is difficult
due to inflexible regulations restricting transfer by retirement village agencies (NSW
Department of Housing, 1990). That is, if self-caring residents cannot be transferred to
hostels or nursing homes when they need more assistance for living, they can be in
difficulty.
Moreover, some villages do not have enough hostel or nursing home facilities(Gledhill,
1996).1%on, health service support may be necessary for the elderly who are living in
self-care villages but who have health problems.
All these issues need clarification, because no studies of service needs of self-caring
retirement village residents have been conducted. It is thus important to identify the
needs of serf-caring retirement village residents for services, in particular community
services. The results gained from the study would be used to assist developing
community service programs in community organizations, for the elderly people.
2. Aim
The present study aimed to assess the needs of self-caring retirement village
residents with regard to community services in the Illawarra area.
3. Objectives
This study had five objectives as follows.
1) To identify functional status of elderly people who live in self-care retirement
villages in the Illawarra area.
2) To identify their knowledge of community
3) To identify the extent to which they use community services.
4) To describe their current satisfaction with services used.
5) To identify their potential needs for community services.
