Trade Area Demand Analysis for Private Pay Assisted Living Facilities
Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management, 1999Co-Authors: Eleanor Tessier, Glenn R MuellerAbstract:Executive Summary. Demand analysis for Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) is a new and growing field. This study attempts to improve ALF demand feasibility models by providing a statistical analysis of residents in four successful ALFs in order to determine where residents came from and what their demographics are, compared to the surrounding community demographics. The results indicate that an average of 70% of the residents and 82% of the adult children come from within a fifteen-mile radius of the four Facilities studied, and 80% of the residents and 95% of the adult children come from within a thirty-mile radius of the Facilities studied, confirming that the market for ALFs is very local in nature. This study also analyzes the age, gender, income, education, occupation and ADL requirements of residents in Facilities to further the understanding of micromarket demand fundamentals and help identify micromarket demographics used in creating a demand model.

Use of Resident Satisfaction Surveys in New Jersey Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities
Journal of Applied Gerontology, 2004Co-Authors: Nicholas G. Castle, Timothy J. Lowe, Judith A. Lucas, Joanne P. Robinson, Stephen CrystalAbstract:In this article, the authors present the results of a questionnaire inquiring into the use and usefulness of resident satisfaction surveys sent to all nursing homes (N = 363) and Assisted Living Facilities (N = 152) in New Jersey in fall 2000. The authors found 86% of nursing homes and 88% of Assisted Living Facilities to be using resident satisfaction surveys. Satisfaction information was reported as extremely useful or very useful in 72% of nursing homes and 83% of Assisted Living Facilities. However, satisfaction instruments used by nursing homes and Assisted Living Facilities are highly varied, and instruments appear to have been developed largely on an ad hoc basis, with little attention to testing of validity or psychometric properties. Standardization initiatives are clearly needed. In addition, the uses of satisfaction information were limited and primarily aimed at administrative goals rather than at improving quality of care. These factors may restrict the potential benefits of resident satisfaction information.

Consumer Satisfaction in Long-Term Care: State Initiatives in Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities
The Gerontologist, 2003Co-Authors: Timothy J. Lowe, Nicholas G. Castle, Judith A. Lucas, Joanne P. Robinson, Stephen CrystalAbstract:Purpose: We report the results of a survey of state initiatives that measure resident satisfaction in nursing homes and Assisted Living Facilities, and we describe several model programs for legislators and public administrators contemplating the initiation of their own state programs. Design and Methods: Data on state initiatives and programs were collected during March and April 2000 through a mailed questionnaire and follow-up telephone interviews and were current as of September 2002. Results: Of the 50 states surveyed, 50 responses were received (response rate = 100%); 12 states (24%) reported the use of consumer satisfaction measures, and 7 (Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Vermont, and Wisconsin) reported using resident satisfaction data within their consumer information systems for nursing homes or Assisted Living Facilities. Additionally, 2 states (Iowa and Wisconsin) use resident satisfaction data for facility licensing and recertification. The design of the instruments and collection methods vary in these states, as do the reported response rates, per-resident cost, and the purpose for satisfaction data collection. Implications: State satisfaction efforts are in an early stage of development. Well-produced, easily understandable reports on nursing home and Assisted Living quality could provide information and guidance for patients and families contemplating the utilization of long-term care services. Dissemination of quality information may also facilitate sustained quality and efficiency improvements in long-term care Facilities and thus enhance the quality of care for and quality of life of long-term care residents.

suicide risk in nursing homes and Assisted Living Facilities 2003 2011
American Journal of Public Health, 2015Co-Authors: Briana Mezuk, Matthew C. Lohman, Marc Leslie, Victoria PowellAbstract:Objectives. We investigated the epidemiology of suicide among adults aged 50 years and older in nursing homes and Assisted Living Facilities and whether anticipating transitioning into long-term care (LTC) is a risk factor for suicide.Methods. Data come from the Virginia Violent Death Reporting System (2003–2011). We matched locations of suicides (n = 3453) against publicly available resource registries of nursing homes (n = 285) and Assisted Living Facilities (n = 548). We examined individual and organizational correlates of suicide by logistic regression. We identified decedents anticipating entry into LTC through qualitative text analysis.Results. Incidence of suicide was 14.16 per 100 000 in nursing homes and 15.66 in the community. Better performance on Nursing Home Compare quality metrics was associated with higher odds of suicide in nursing homes (odds ratio [OR] = 1.95; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.21, 3.14). Larger facility size was associated with higher suicide risk in Assisted Living facil...

Prevalence, Recognition, and Treatment of Dementia in Assisted Living Facilities.
Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders, 2018Co-Authors: Stanislav Sutovsky, Maria Kralova, Pavol Siarnik, Peter TurcaniAbstract:Dementia and psychiatric disorders are common in Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) and have suboptimal rates of recognition and treatment. Therefore, we aimed to obtain a direct estimate of the prevalence of cognitive impairment and especially dementia among residents of ALFs in western Slovakia and their rates of primary recognition and adequate treatment. We conducted two cross-sectional studies. Ten ALFs within the city of Bratislava were chosen for the study in 2004, and again in 2011. A total of 866 residents in ALFs were examined in 2004, and 821 residents in ALFs were examined in 2011. The rate and characterization of dementia, its primary recognition and adequate treatment were investigated in both cross-sectional studies. In 2004, 57% of the participants had dementia. Only 7.2% of the participants with probable Alzheimer disease were treated with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. In 2011, we observed a significant improvement in primary diagnostics and therapy. 66.9% of the cases of dementia were adequately evaluated, and 52.1% were adequately treated. Cognitive deficit and dementia are significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated in Assisted Living settings. In the second cross-sectional study we detected significant but not complete improvement in the primary recognition and adequate therapy of dementia. © 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel.
