Abstract

Abstract Assisted living and similar residential care is an important source of care for elders, including those with dementia. Meaningful activities may help residents maintain function, improve self-esteem, and enhance quality of life. Using data from the 2010 National Survey of Residential Care Facilities, this study identifies the extent of resident engagement in different types of activities; examines the extent to which cognitive status, other resident characteristics, and residential care community characteristics relate to activity engagement; and, among cognitively impaired residents, assesses whether being in dementia-specific settings is associated with activity engagement. Compared with persons without cognitive impairment, those with severe cognitive impairment are less likely to go on outings (79% versus 36%) and talk with family and friends (85% versus 72%). Residents with mild to severe cognitive impairment have higher participation in leisure activities than other residents if they live in dementia-specific settings (73% higher) than those who do not.

居住护理环境中的活动参与：全国居住护理设施调查结果

摘要辅助生活和类似的住宿护理是老年人（包括痴呆症患者）的重要护理来源。有意义的活动可以帮助居民保持功能，提高自尊，提高生活质量。本研究利用2010年全国养老机构调查的数据，确定了居民参与不同类型活动的程度；考察认知状态、其他居民特征和寄宿护理社区特征与活动参与的关系程度；在认知受损的居民中，评估处于痴呆症特定环境中是否与活动参与有关。与没有认知障碍的人相比，患有严重认知障碍的人们不太可能外出（79%对36%），也不太可能与家人和朋友交谈（85%对72%）。如果生活在痴呆症特定环境中，轻度至重度认知障碍的居民比其他居民更容易参与休闲活动（高73%）。

期刊介绍： Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
