Characteristics of Older Adults With Domestic Squalor in Japan: A Cross‐Sectional Study
In this study sample, many older adults with DS exhibited self-neglect and had limited family support. Our findings suggest that a comprehensive approach to both older adults with DS and their families is crucial for appropriate intervention. Therefore, IPISTs that have a multidisciplinary team with an outreach function may be effective.
