Access to care for the elderly
Description
Geographical accessibility to care for people aged 70 or older does not appear to be lower than that of younger adults. When consulting the general practitioner, people aged 70 or older have lower travel times than younger adults, as they more often resort to the professional closest to their home. In addition, their use of massagers-kinesitherapists is more often done through home visits.
When they go to hospital, people aged 70 or older also have slightly lower actual access times than other adults, linked to a higher propensity to go to the nearest facility to their home.
The data relate to:
— the average time of effective recourse to the healthcare professional of patients according to their age;
— the rate of appeal by age per 1 000 inhabitants for five specialties;
— the median times of theoretical and actual access of 19-69 years and 70 years or more;
— actual and theoretical median access times according to the type of municipality and age.
