Objective: To estimate comparative mangement levels and the annual cost of caring for a nursing home resident with and without dementia. Method: Data from the 1995 Massachusetts Medicaid nursing home database were used to examine residents with Alzheimer's disease, other types of dementia, and no dementia to determine care and dependency levels. Massachusetts Medicaid 1997 per-diem rates for each of 10 designated management levels were applied accordingly to residents in each level to estimate annual care costs. Costs from this analysis are reported in 1997 U.S. dollars. Results: Of the 49,724 nursing home residents identified, 26.4% had a documented diagnosis of dementia. On average, a resident with dementia requires 229 more hours of care annually than one without dementia, resulting in a mean additional cost of $3,865 per patient with dementia per year. Conclusions: Dementia increases the care needs and cost of caring for a nursing home resident.

Abstract Within nursing homes, residents commonly experience pain that unfortunately goes underrecognized and undertreated, having a dramatic negative impact on residents' quality of life. Nursing homes are becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, and there is concerning evidence documenting disparities in the quality of nursing home care. In other healthcare settings, people of diverse race groups often receive less optimal pain management, but the evidence regarding racial disparities has not been synthesized for nursing homes. Thus, the purpose of this review was to investigate what is known about racial disparities related to pain management (e.g. assessment, treatment, preferences) in US nursing homes. We completed a scoping literature review using PRISMA-ScR guidelines and searching PubMed, CINHAL, and Scopus for peer-reviewed, empirical studies. Most studies were older large retrospective cohort studies of administrative data documenting that White residents were more likely than residents of diverse race groups to have pain documented and treated. Only a few studies looked at possible reasons to explain the disparities; differences were not found to be related to nursing staff racial bias nor differences in pain-related diagnoses. However, there was evidence of racial differences in resident behavior and attitudes related to pain management. None of the studies examined systemic factors related to differences among nursing homes, which has been implicated in studies looking at other outcomes including COVID-19. More research is needed which examines the causal mechanisms behind the documented racial disparities in pain management so that gaps in care can be reduced.
