Individuals were asked to report their preferences for care settings: “When care is needed, I would like to be cared for …” (from 1 = “totally agree” to 4 = “totally disagree”)

at own home

in relatives’ homes

in assisted living

in nursing home/old age home

in a foreign country

A mid-category (indifferent in the choice question) was not included because we prefer respondents to make a definite choice. The five dependent variables were all dichotomized (0 = “totally disagree” and “rather disagree”; 1 = “totally agree” and “rather agree”) to indicate high preferences versus low preferences.
