Do Assisted Living Facilities That Offer a Dementia Care Program Differ from Those That Do Not? A Population-Level Cross-Sectional Study in Ontario, Canada
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
ABSTRACT Objective To identify the characteristics of licensed assisted living facilities that provide a dementia care program compared to assisted living facilities that do not provide such a program. Design, Setting, and Participants Population-level cross-sectional study in Ontario, Canada on all licensed assisted living facilities in 2018 ( n = 738). Methods Data on facility-level characteristics (e.g., resident and suite capacities, etc.) and the provision of other provincially regulated care services (e.g., pharmacist and medical services, skin and wound care, etc.) attributed to licensed assisted living facilities were examined. Multivariable Poisson regression with robust standard errors was used to model the characteristics of assisted living facilities associated with the provision of a dementia care program. Results There were 123 (16.7%) assisted living facilities that provided a dementia care program. Nearly half of these facilities had a resident capacity exceeding 140 older adults (44.7%) and more than 115 suites (46.3%). All assisted living facilities that provided a dementia care program also provided nursing services, meals, assistance with bathing and hygiene, and administered medications. After adjusting for facility characteristics and other provincially regulated care services, the prevalence of a dementia care program was nearly three times greater in assisted living facilities that offered assistance with feeding than those that did not (Prevalence Ratio [PR] = 2.91, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.98 to 4.29), and almost twice as great among assisted living facilities that provided medical services than those that did not (PR = 1.78, 95% CI 1.00 to 3.17). Conclusions A dementia care program was more prevalent in assisted living facilities that housed many older adults, had many suites, and provided at least five of the other 12 regulated care services. These findings deepen the understanding of specialized care for dementia in assisted living facilities. BRIEF SUMMARY Question Do licensed assisted living facilities that provide a dementia care program differ from those that do not in Ontario, Canada? Findings Assisted living facilities that provide a dementia care program house many older adults, have many suites, and offer at least five of the other 12 regulated care services. Meaning Assisted living facilities that provide a dementia care program are larger and provide an array of care services.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
