Skilled Nursing Facility-to-Home Trajectories for Older Adults With Mental Illness or Dementia

CONCLUSION: Newly admitted SNF residents with MI or ADRD were less likely to be discharged and, if discharged, spent less time in the community. Interventions targeting depressive symptoms, aggressive behaviors, and functioning and improving linkage with home health services may help decrease differences in post-acute care trajectories between those with and without MI and ADRD.PMID:34284892 | DOI:10.1016/j.jagp.2021.06.013
