Older homebound adults in this study faced high burdens of disease, a lack of mobility and difficulty accessing quality health care. Our observations may help researchers and clinicians better understand the health-care experiences and personal opinions of older homebound individuals, informing the development of effective and empathetic home-based care. Participant responses illuminated a need for education about HBPC. We must improve health-care delivery and develop comprehensive, patient-centered HBPC to meet the needs of homebound individuals.
