The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of the personalized autonomy allowance (allocation personnalisée d’autonomie, or APA) on the care received by disabled elderly people living in the community. Using data from the French Handicap Santé Ménage Survey, we conduct an empirical analysis using the propensity score matching method. Our results suggest that the use of publicly funded formal care partially substitutes for privately funded formal care and informal care, depending on the disability level and informal care resources, and improves the support that disabled elderly people receive to assist them in performing the primary activities of daily living.
