This study applies data from the Manitoba Longitudinal Study on Aging for two purposes. First examined were the hospital-utilization patterns of elderly nursing home admissions during the 2 years before and 2 years after entrance into a facility. In addition, use of the hospital by these new admissions and by long-term nursing home residents was compared with that of the use by the elderly living in the community. When age, sex, and mortality rate are taken into account, the results indicate that, although both new admissions and long-term nursing home residents are sicker than their community counterparts, they are significantly less frequently hospitalized
