Our findings suggest that parents' receipt of support from children is conditioned upon their living arrangement and gender, even when their functional health is jeopardized. We discuss these results in relation to the heterogeneous influence of living arrangements for older adults' support needs and provide suggestions for policy and directions for future research in rapidly aging Puerto Rico.
