Needs and care of older people living at home in Iceland
The Icelandic old-age care system is universal and the official goal is to support older people live independently for as long as possible.
The aim of this study is to describe the living conditions and needs of older people in Iceland and how these needs are met. The new survey ICEOLD is used to examine formal and informal care and the relationship between these spheres.
