Applicability
Strengths:
Questions relate to the different aspects of help, i.e. personal help, practical help or both. Both elderly individuals living in their own home and in a elderly home participate.
Weakness:
Some response categories include too few respondents to be reported, e.g. for indicators 1, 2 and 3, only the response categories "Satisfied" and "Very satisfied" are reported.
