Duration of Residence and Hypertension in Black Foreign-Born Residents
N –3 Fatty acids, hypertension and risk of cognitive decline among older adults in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (Aric) study
Objective Recent research indicates that n –3 fatty acids can inhibit cognitive decline, perhaps differentially by hypertensive status. Design We tested these hypotheses in a prospective cohort study (the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities). Dietary assessment using a food-frequency questionnaire and plasma fatty acid exposure by gas chromatography were completed in 1987–1989 (visit 1), while cognitive assessment with three screening tools – the…
Emotional and Physical Health of Informal Caregivers of Residents at the End of Life
Many characteristics related to end-of-life caregiving outcomes in long-term care are consistent with community-based studies, suggesting that end-of-life caregiving outcomes in long-term care are not markedly different than in other settings. However, the role of staff support may either facilitate or complicate emotional strain and merits additional study
Medicare Prospective Payment and Quality of Care for Long-Stay Nursing Facility Residents
BACKGROUND: The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 dramatically changed the way that Medicare pays skilled nursing facilities and also cut per-diem rates. Previous studies have found effects on facility-wide staffing but not on quality for short-stay residents. Because facilities may combine revenue streams to be used where needed, spillover effects on quality of care for long-stay residents are possible. OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate effects of f…
How Good Is Assisted Living? Findings and Implications From an Outcomes Study
No single component defines "good" AL care. Predictors and outcomes are inconsistent, and effect sizes are small. Therefore, practice and policy should not focus narrowly on any one area or restrict the type of care-this being welcome news that supports diversity to accommodate individual preferences
The Therapeutic Environment Screening Survey for Nursing Homes (Tess-NH)
The TESS-NH efficiently assesses discrete elements of the physical environment and has strong reliability and validity. The SCUEQS provides a quantitative measure of environmental quality in institutional settings
Distribution of African Americans in Residential Care/Assisted Living and Nursing Homes
Objectives. In this study, we examined racial separation in long-term care. Methods. We used a survey of a stratified sample of 181 residential care/assisted living (RC/AL) facilities and 39 nursing homes in 4 states. Results. Most African Americans resided in nursing homes and smaller RC/AL facilities and tended to be concentrated in a few predominantly African American facilities, whereas the vast majority of Whites resided in predominantly Whi…
Nursing Home Survey Deficiencies for Physical Restraint Use
New federal regulations, implemented in 1990, severely restrict the use of physical restraints in nursing homes nationwide. This study evaluated the impact of these regulations on North Carolina nursing homes during 1991. An average of 32.6% of facility residents were restrained during that year, and 29.2% of facilities were cited for violation of the restraint regulations. Annual health department surveys of a sample of 195 North Carolina nursin…
