Associations Between Subacute Rehabilitation Experiences and Transitions into Long-Term Care

Associations Between Subacute Rehabilitation Experiences and Transitions into Long-Term Care Various characteristics and circumstances lead older adults in the community to transition into long-term care homes (LTCHs). Family caregivers often provide support, resources, and encouragement to older adults during the transition into a LTCH. Therefore, this study aimed to explore family caregiver perceptions of older adults’ sub-acute rehabilitation experiences that may associate with older adults’ transitions into LTCHs. A descriptive survey resulted in understanding circumstances that led to older adults’ transitions into the LTCH, and older adults with sub-acute rehabilitation experiences were positively associated with being more independently able to integrate into the LTCH. Future research directions and practical implications for healthcare professionals are further discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Activities Adaptation & Aging Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Various characteristics and circumstances lead older adults in the community to transition into long-term care homes (LTCHs). Family caregivers often provide support, resources, and encouragement to older adults during the transition into a LTCH. Therefore, this study aimed to explore family caregiver perceptions of older adults’ sub-acute rehabilitation experiences that may associate with older adults’ transitions into LTCHs. A descriptive survey resulted in understanding circumstances that led to older adults’ transitions into the LTCH, and older adults with sub-acute rehabilitation experiences were positively associated with being more independently able to integrate into the LTCH. Future research directions and practical implications for healthcare professionals are further discussed.
