Mark incentives, psychological incentives, coercion and service credits are the strategies used to attract the interest of the elders.

Article Abstract:
The influence of race and long-term care financing policies on the use of community and institutional long-term care by persons aged 65 and over are studied. Results show that about 7.3% of older whites used nursing homes compared to 5.4% of African-Americans.
