Telehealth Use by Residence Type in Older Adults Receiving Long-Term Services and Supports: The US National Core Indicators Survey (2021-2022).
Article in Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTelehealth can improve access to geriatric care, especially for vulnerable older adults facing transportation, mobility, and/or health-related barriers to in-person care. However, integrating telehealth into geriatric care requires consideration of the different residence types where older adults use telehealth. This study aimed to examine whether telehealth use among older adults using long-term services and supports (LTSS) differs by residence type, after adjusting for demographic and health-related factors, using data from the National Core Indicators-Aging and Disabilities Adult Consumer Survey.
designCross-sectional study. SETTING AND
participantsWe used data from the 2021-2022 National Core Indicators-Aging and Disabilities Adult Consumer Survey for LTSS users aged ≥65 years without intellectual or developmental disability.
methodsWe compared the proportion of telehealth users across residence types (community-dwelling, residential care, and nursing home), adjusting for sociodemographic and health-related factors, using multivariable logistic regression with state random effects.
resultsOf the 6925 respondents in the analytical sample, 4789 (69%) lived in the community, 1381 (20%) lived in residential care, and 755 (11%) were in nursing homes. Telehealth use was reported by 39% of community-dwelling respondents, 34% in residential care, and 20% in nursing homes. The regression model revealed that individuals in residential care and nursing homes had significantly lower adjusted odds of telehealth use than their community-dwelling counterparts [residential care: odds ratio (OR), 0.80; 95% CI, 0.69-0.92; nursing homes: OR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.29-0.47]. Notably, nursing home residents had lower adjusted odds of telehealth use than those in residential care (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.36-0.60). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Older LTSS users in residential care and nursing homes have significantly lower adjusted odds of using telehealth than those living in the community. These findings underscore the importance of considering residential context when evaluating telehealth access and delivery among older adults, particularly those using LTSS.
