Health service use trajectories differed for RACF residents and community-dwellers; however, there were similar patient characteristics that defined trajectory group membership. Low users of hospital services living in RACFs or the community included older adults with generally unfavourable health conditions, potentially indicating that palliative care or advanced care directives and community-care initiatives, respectively, have played a part in the lowered frequency of rehospitalisation.
