Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to test the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of implementation of Function Focused Care for Assisted Living Using the Evidence Integration Triangle in Assisted Living Communities with Residents with Dementia (FFC-AL-EIT-D) during the pandemic. This was a single group pre-post study design including 51 communities in a single state. The communities ranged in size from 8 to 50 residents with a mean of 13 (SD = 7). The majority (99%) were for profit. Following implementation of FFC-AL-EIT-D there was significant improvement in environments and policies supporting physical activity and some evidence suggesting they used new supplies to engage residents in physical activity. There was no change in falls, emergency room, hospital, or nursing home transfers.
期刊介绍:
Activities, Adaptation, & Aging is the working tool for activity directors and all health care professionals concerned with the enhancement of the lives of the aged. Established as the primary journal for activity professionals, Activities, Adaptation & Aging provides a professional outlet for research regarding the therapeutic implications of activities on quality-of-life issues and overall life satisfaction for the elderly. The journal examines a wide spectrum of activities: activity-based intervention for persons with dementia; activity determinants in independent-living elderly; activity implications in a variety of settings; activity participation patterns; and activity implications for everyday practice.
