This study used data from the Channeling Demonstration to investigate the relationship between program participation, utilization of formal in-home services, and client satisfaction in an elderly population. Age, being male, severe ADL dependency, living alone with no informal support, provision of basic case management services, and utilization of formal in-home services were significant predictors of satisfaction.
