This study examines the care preferences of the 65 to 75-year-old population in the Lake Constance-Upper Swabia region and analyzes the influencing factors that influence the ideas for their own future care provision. By means of an explanative-sequential mixed methods study, family, social, economic and cultural-contextual influences are analyzed. The findings offer important approaches for the further development of nursing care and the promotion of needs-based care services. New product
