Home Setting

The Alzheimer's Disease Family Care Center program was established within an intermediate care teaching nursing home as a demonstration program to investigate ways to involve families in care of their relatives. In total, 45 family members participated in a program including an orientation session; a preliminary family involvement interview; contracts with family members, in which they chose specific tasks to engage in during visits; a five-session course on Alzheimer's disease and how families may be partners in care within the facility; and an ongoing family support group. Evaluation data sources include a baseline and 9-month follow-up questionnaire completed by families, preliminary and follow-up family interviews conducted by project codirectors, records of family visits, and family choices on contracts. Findings from the 23 family members who contracted for tasks during their visits and from the follow-up questionnaire completed by 25 family members showed that most sought social and emotional interactions with relatives, some maintained direct personal care activities, and only a few identified interest in extensive involvement with staff and facility. At follow-up, family members involved in the program reported they continued to feel close to their relatives. Many felt that their relatives were generally stable or improved with regard to cognitive function, but over a third noted difficulties in communicating. Participating family members reported that the program of staff supports helped them to feel more integral to the unit. They expressed a need for more education and support for their involvement in the nursing home setting. Project findings confirm previous studies recommending that programming at nursing homes needs to include specific institutional and staff supports to maintain and enhance family contributions to the long-term nursing home care of their relatives.

The purpose of this follow-up Delphi survey was to have an expert panel of 31 academic geriatric physicians, geriatric nurses, and medical directors of nursing homes evaluate the original timeline set to avoid oral neglect of nursing home residents. The Oral Neglect in Institutionalized Elderly (ONiIE) timelines defined oral neglect as having occurred when >7 days for acute oral diseases/conditions or >34 days for chronic oral disease/conditions had passed between initial diagnosis and offering access to dental care to the long-term care (LTC) nursing home resident. The results of this follow-up Delphi survey validated those originally defined ONiIE timelines as 90% of this panel agreed with the original timelines. This ONiIE definition adds a broad-based validation for the ONiIE timelines for setting an oral health standard of care for institutionalized elderly residents of nursing homes and should now be used to protect the vulnerable elderly residing in LTC nursing homes.

Abstract Objective To determine the key classes of nursing home residents’ nine-month pain trajectories, the influence of residents’ mental health disorders on membership in these classes, and nine-month health-related outcomes associated with pain trajectory class membership. Methods Four times over a nine-month period, the MDS 3.0 resident assessment instrument was used to record the demographic characteristics, mental health disorder diagnoses, pain characteristics, and health and functioning outcomes of 2,539 Department of Veterans Affairs Community Living Center (VA CLC) residents. Growth mixture modeling was used to estimate the key classes of residents’ nine-month pain trajectories, the influence of residents’ mental health disorders on their pain trajectory class membership, and the associations of class membership with residents’ health and functioning outcomes at nine-month follow-up. Results Four-class solutions best described nursing home residents’ nine-month trajectories of pain frequency, severity, and interference. Residents with dementia and severe mental illness diagnoses were less likely, and those with depressive disorder, PTSD, and substance use disorder diagnoses more likely, to belong to adverse nine-month pain trajectory classes. Membership in adverse pain frequency and pain severity trajectory classes, and in trajectory classes characterized by initially high but steeply declining pain interference, portended more depressive symptoms but better cognitive and physical functioning at nine-month follow-up. Conclusions Nursing home residents’ mental health disorder diagnoses help predict their subsequent pain frequency, severity, and interference trajectories. This may be clinically useful information for improving pain assessment and treatment approaches for nursing home residents.
