Abstract
Abstract Hospice use among assisted living residents may support aging in place. A cross-sectional survey was used to characterize variation in the health and personal care needs of Oregon assisted living and residential care (AL/RC) residents who did and did not receive hospice services. All AL communities licensed in Oregon as of fall 2019 were asked to answer questions about three randomly selected residents. A final sample of 998 residents was included in the analysis. Multiple variable logistic regression was used to examine associations between resident- and community-level characteristics and hospice use. While hospice services provide supplemental support for AL residents’ end-of-life process, our findings show that residents often receive continued assistance from AL staff as their condition deteriorates.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
