Abstract
Rural-urban differences in the characteristics of 44 individuals entering the province-wide Adult Day Care program throughout Manitoba are examined. In addition, the rural-urban differences along various social and social psychological indicators after participants have been in the program are explored. The results indicate that there are many similarities and relatively few differences between the urban and the rural ADC participants. Any differences which do emerge portray the rural participants as more socially integrated and with higher levels of perceived health than the urban participants. Implications for assessment for entry into Adult Day Care are discussed.
