Abstract
The challenges in investigating the effects of the physical environment on residents with dementia include having a sample of comparable study groups and a lack of long-term follow-up evaluation. This study attempted to address these two challenges by carefully matching residents between groups in sample selection and including three points of time of evaluation in the study design. The main aim of the study is to examine whether residents with dementia living in different physical environment, focusing on large-scale institutional design and small-scale homelike environment exhibit a difference in health and behavioral outcomes. Physical environmental assessment of the two care facilities was conducted using the Therapeutic Environment Screening Survey for Nursing Homes. Behavior assessments of residents were performed using three tools at three assessments over a period of 1 year: (a) Multidimensional Observation Scale for Elderly Subjects, (b) Minimum Data Set, and (c) Dementia Care Mapping. The longitudinal results suggest that older adults with early to moderate stage dementia can be supported to become socially active and engaged with others in an optimal environment. It is possible that a small-scale, home-like unit makes it easier to socially relate with others, as fewer people in the setting are not as overwhelming or over-stimulating. A smaller home-like environment may also offer a sense of comfort, security, and belonging.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
