Abstract: This dissertation explores the role of health and healthcare delivery for the well-being of individuals in retirement. The summary section provides an introduction to the themes explored throughout this dissertation. Chapters 1 and 2 consider public policies regarding long-term care delivery methods. The final chapter, chapter 3, explores how employer-provided retirement benefits and health interact to influence the retirement behavior and impact the well-being of the older population. This dissertation explores two important decisions facing older individuals- long-term care choices and retirement decisions. The findings in this dissertation are relevant to understanding the role of health status and public healthcare programs in well-being of the elderly. These will also help inform policy decisions regarding public provision of long-term services and design of policies incentivizing later retirement.
