It's a family affair
Nursing homes in the United States have for over 40-years been riddled with evidence of poor performance. To combat problems in this industry, state and federal governments developed an elaborate monitoring and regulatory structure. At the same time, an important citizens' movement involving nursing-home consumer advocacy groups (CAGs) came to life. This paper presents the results of a postal survey of 47 active nursing-home consumer advocacy gro…
Assisted Living in Rural America
Context: Expanding the availability of long‐term care (LTC) services and making them more responsive to consumer preferences is an important goal, particularly for elderly people living in rural areas who tend to be older and have greater functional limitations but less access to the range of LTC options available in metropolitan areas. One option that has been growing in popularity is assisted‐living facilities (ALFs). Purpose and Methods: This …
Rurality and Nursing Home Quality
Objectives. We examined differences in quality of care among nursing homes in locales of varying degrees of rurality. Methods. We classified locales into 4 classes according to rurality. We analyzed a 10% sample of nursing home admissions in the United States in 2000 (n=198613) to estimate survival models for 9 quality indicators. Results. For postacute admissions, we observed significant differences in rates of decline for residents in facilitie…

OBJECTIVES: Various individual characteristics increase a nursing home resident's likelihood of being mechanically restrained. However, there is not good information on the role played by facility characteristics and geographic area in determining the likelihood of physical restraint use. This study investigates the importance of individual, facility, and area indicators in determining the likelihood of restraint use. METHODS: This research uses …
Nursing Home Case-Mix Classification and Residents Suffering from Cognitive Impairment
Case-mix reimbursement systems for nursing home care are now in use or under consideration in over 20 states. Though many in the long-term care field still debate the relative merits of the various systems, those systems based on the Resource Utilization Groups-II (RUG-II) system used in New York seem to be increasingly popular. However, one of the more serious questions raised concerning RUG-like systems is whether they fully acknowledge the rol…
Nursing Home Reform and the Politics of Long-Term Care
Nursing home care has been described as the most troubled and troublesome segment of the American health care system. Despite the annual expenditure of billions of dollars, extensive regulation, and the emergence of an increasingly sophisticated and concentrated industry, significant problems persist. Inadequate quality of care continues to be a serious and pervasive problem. Discrimination against patients whose care is paid for by Medicaid and …
