Abstract

In this qualitative focus group study, the resources available to older home‐dwelling people, particularly incoming and existing home care clients, are described from the viewpoint of home care professionals (n = 32). The data were analyzed using inductive content analysis. There were three categories of older people requiring resources from the viewpoint of interviewers: home‐dwelling people, incoming home care clients, and existing home care clients. Based on the analysis, the resources of older home‐dwelling people were categorized in terms of support, meaningful life, everyday activities, and environment. Incoming home care client resources were support, out‐of‐home activities, in‐home activities, and environment. Existing client resources were described in terms of support, everyday activities, and environment. Home care professionals described the resources of the older home‐dwelling people in diverse ways, but those of the perspective of existing clients were reduced. The biggest difference was in everyday activities. Psychological and social resources, including meaningful life and social relationships, seemed to be forgotten. All available resources must be taken into account, especially in the everyday home care services for existing home care clients.
