http://chsd.uow.edu.au/Publications/2001_pubs/Stage 1 HACC R...
Here the authors discuss the factors affecting elderly patients' functional dependency:
'Besides availability of social support, the ability of the elderly to live independently in the community is probably influenced by their functional capabilities or dependencies.
