This study of 208 chronically ill African-American and white elderly entering home care after hospitalization examined race differences in informal and formal services received and adequacy of care. Controlling for marital status, interference in activities from chronic conditions, socioeconomic status, age, and gender in regression analyses, African- Americans received significantly fewer hours of formal care per week but received significantly more hours of informal care per week from the primary caregiver. However, there was a tendency for African- Americans to rate their care as less adequate. Implications of the findings for practice, policy, and research are discussed.
