Predictors of Nursing Home Admission for Persons with Dementia

Medical Care · 2009 · Vol. 47(2) · pp. 191–198

Abstract

Several results seemed to challenge conventional assumptions of what precipitates NHA among persons with dementia. Caregiver stressors in conjunction with care recipient characteristics are important to consider when assessing NHA risk. The findings emphasize the need to construct more complex models of institutionalization when designing risk measures to target interventions.
