-
Principles of diffusion of innovation were used to change care provided to people with dementia in 9 nursing homes.
-
Psychiatric and behavioural symptoms are frequent in nursing homes and the rate increases with the progression of the dementia.
-
Competition from another NH-based SCU was associated with the presence of an SCU in a NH [adjusted odds ratio, 3.3; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.6-6.6] but there were no associations with other measures.
-
Prevalence rates of neuropsychiatric symptoms in Dutch nursing home patients with dementia residing in SCUs are high, especially agitation and apathy.
-
Cox proportional hazard regressions indicated that baseline characteristics including older age, White race, diabetes, incontinence, stroke, and difficulties with instrumental activities increased risk of NHP in those without dementia.
-
BPSD contribute significantly to the overall costs of dementia care.
-
Most patients came from the community (43% home without help and 42% home with help compared with 14% in assisted living and 1% in a nursing home).
-
Cognitive stimulation therapy for people with dementia has effectiveness advantages over, and may be more cost-effective than, treatment as usual.
-
The QoL-AD could be used as an effective measure of the quality of life of people with dementia in residential homes.
-
The MDS-ADL Long Form scale detected clinically meaningful change in physical function in a large cohort of long-stay nursing home residents with moderate to severe dementia, supporting its use as a research tool in future studies.
-
Promotion of person centred care and good practice in the management of patients with dementia with behavioural symptoms provides an effective alternative to neuroleptics.
-
Based on the psychometric qualities and criteria regarding sensitivity and clinical utility, we conclude that PACSLAC and DOLOPLUS2 are the most appropriate scales currently available.
-
Stress was more often reported by care providers who had been working for 1 to 2 years (compared with longer); in addition, those who had been working for 1 to 2 years were more likely to espouse hopeful or person-centered attitudes than those who had been working for a longer period of time.

38/100
This article describes the prevalence, assessment, and treatment of, as well as characteristics associated with, mobility limitation in 343 residents with dementia in 45 assisted living facilities and nursing homes.
-
Change in quality of life was better in facilities that used a specialized worker approach, trained more staff in more domains central to dementia care, and encouraged activity participation.
-
An analysis of interaction terms in the Cox regression model found that those individuals who utilized in-home help services earlier in their dementia caregiving careers were more likely to delay institutionalization.
-
43/100
This article describes and illustrates a framework that may be used when assessing the moral basis of everyday issues that can affect residents of assisted living facilities.
-
Many VA nursing home residents have SMI.
-
The results from this study provide information about a group void in the literature pertaining to activity restriction from fear of falling - community-based seniors receiving home care services.
-
The purpose of this study, conducted in three phases, was to develop a clinically useful observational tool (i.e., the Pain Assessment Checklist for Seniors With Limited Ability to Communicate [PACSLAC]) to assess pain in seniors with severe dementia.
-
We found associations between each behavioral health measure and particular environmental design features, as well as between behavioral health measures and both resident and nonenvironmental facility variables.
-
This paper examines key challenges and strategies for including older people with dementia in an ethnographic study of quality of life in institutional care settings.
-
More than one third of severely cognitively impaired residents in US nursing homes have feeding tubes.

The 2-year rate of infection was 1.20 episodes per 100 resident days, and the hospitalization rate for infection was 0.17 admissions per 100 resident days.
-
The majority of RC/AL patients were taking five or more medications; 16.0% of these patients were receiving IPMs.
-
Approximately 30% (4115 dollars) of the total annual cost of AD (14420 dollars) is invested in the direct management of BPSD.
-
The results of the present study document that severe cognitive impairment may be considered a negative predictor of functional recovery after a period of intensive rehabilitation.
-
The prevalence of depressive disorders among nursing home residents is high; depression recognition is relatively low, with only 37%-45% of cases diagnosed by psychiatrists recognized as depressed by staff.
-
Such targeted approaches may not present a fair picture of overall quality and may lead to unintended incentives ("gaming the system") (7).
-
BPSD are ubiquitous in nursing home residents.
-
BPSD are common in elderly people with dementia living in care environments.
-
40/100
Both motor and neuropsychiatric symptoms contributed to institutionalization, but the presence of hallucinations was the strongest predictor.
-
over 90% of the homes had high quality scores on at least two measures.
-
There is a need for a standardized screening instrument which incorporates daily observations of nursing-home staff.
-
Residents exhibited better QOL than expected.
-
A major tenet of gerontological practice and policy has been that community-based services relieve stress on family caregivers and delay or prevent institutionalization of frail elders.

Behavioral treatment is a safe and effective conservative intervention that should be made more readily available to patients as a first-line treatment for urge and mixed incontinence.
-
25 (21.6%) of the 116 patients living at home were admitted to residential or nursing home care during the follow-up year.
-
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and incidence of the most frequent chronic health problems in relation to age in people with intellectual disabilities living in residential facilities in the Netherlands.
-
These data confirm earlier reports of a substantial number of treatable eye diseases, particularly advanced cataract, in nursing home residents, and indicate a need for increased surveillance of these communities.
-
Finally, organizational characteristics (e.g., size and proprietary status) appear to be important enabling factors influencing the propensity to provide specialty care in dedicated units.
-
A method for assessing affect states among older people with Alzheimer's disease was developed for use in a study designed to evaluate a special care unit for such residents of a nursing home.
