Abstract:

Abstract Older adults who transition to independent and assisted-living communities perceive their transition experience differently. This research focused on understanding what factors were predominant for a successful transition from a long-time home to a dependent living community. A constructivist grounded theory method was used to explore the experiences of 18 older adults who had relocated within the past year. The participants of this study were aged 65-95 years and are equally represented by gender. Equal numbers of respondents transitioned into independent and assisted-living accommod

Abstract:

Persons age 65 and over constitute the largest reservoir of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in the United States today. During 1987, 6,150 tuberculosis cases were reported among this high-risk group. These cases represent 27% of the total US tuberculosis morbidity, although this age group constitutes only 12% of the US population. Tuberculosis case rates in the United States are higher among the elderly (20.6 per 100,000) than among all other age groups (average 9.3 per 100,000).More Americans live in nursing homes than in any other type of residential institution; on any given day approx

Abstract:

Community-based, long-term care has become an increasingly popular and needed service for the aged and disabled populations in recent years. These services witnessed a major expansion in 1981 when Congress created the Home and Community-Based Waiver authority for the Medicaid program. Currently, all states offer some complement of community-based, long-term care services to their elderly and disabled populations and nearly all states have Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waivers which extend these services to their Medicaid eligible clients.An ever increasing proportion of the popula

Abstract:

AbstractPneumonia is a common infection among residents of long-term-care facilities (LTCFs), with an incidence of 1.2 episodes per 1,000 patient-days. This rate is believed to be six- to tenfold higher than the rate of pneumonia among elderly individuals living in the community. The risk factors for pneumonia among residents of LTCFs are profound disability, bedridden state, urinary incontinence, difficulty swallowing, malnutrition, tube feedings, contractures, and use of benzodiazepines and anticholinergic medications. An elevated respiratory rate is often an early clue to pneumonia in this

Abstract Within long-term care, person-centeredness is key to providing quality care to people living with dementia.

To better understand the concept of person-centeredness within long-term and community-based services, we conducted three focus groups with members of the Alzheimer’s Association Dementia Care Provider Roundtable, which consists of leadership of long-term and community-based care organization

There is a growing interest in understanding how social and physical environments contribute to health outcomes and the provision of services and resources for older persons with disabilities requiring assistance from LTSS.

In addition, the differences in community composition were correlated with the changes in process rates for NFB (P < 0.05).

Abstract Medicaid claims data for the years 2013 to 2020 were analyzed to examine use of common categories of home and community-based services (HCBS) as well as the proportion of people living in nursing homes as opposed to receiving long-term services and supports in the community. There was a long-term trend prior to Community HealthChoices of a shift the locus of LTSS away from nursing homes. The implementation of managed care to deliver LTSS continued, but did not appear to accelerate this trend. However, MLTSS did appear to control to growth in hours of personal care per person both in t

This study examined the socioeconomic costs of dementia based on the utilization of healthcare and long-term care services in South Korea. Using 2016 data from two national insurance databases and a survey study, persons with dementia were categorized into six groups based on healthcare and long-term care services used: long-term care insurance users with home- and community-based services (n = 93,346), nursing home services (n = 69,895), and combined services (n = 16,068); and long-term care insurance non-users cared for by family at home (n = 192,713), living alone (n = 19,526), and admitted

Personal call alarms are designed to prevent long lies, although little is known about their use. Using cross-sectional data from the English Longitudinal Study on Ageing, this study investigated the proportion of self-reported users of personal call alarms among 3,091 community-dwelling adults aged 65+ who reported difficulties of mobility or activities of daily living.

Abstract:

Abstract At some point in our lives, approximately 70% of us will need support to help with daily care. Without adequate assistance we may experience unmet care need consequences (UCNC) – such as skipping meals, going without clean clothes, or taking the wrong medication. This study examines the likelihood of experiencing UCNC related to gaps in assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) across long-term care arrangements: informal community care, paid community care, residential care, and nursing homes.
