Abstract
This study sought to understand the consistency of ratings over a 3-day test-retest period for how satisfied long-term care recipients were with the fulfillment of important everyday preferences. Pearson correlations were assessed for reports of satisfaction on 16 everyday preference items by 49 older adults (aged 62-104). Participants received services from skilled nursing, assisted living, or an adult day health program provided by a single long-term care organization. Results indicate that participants in this sample were consistent in reports of satisfaction of preference fulfillment over 3 days on 13 of 16 preferences. This finding indicates that ratings of satisfaction with preference fulfillment are reliable indicators to use in care planning.
