Health trajectories of skilled nursing facility patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias: Evidence for practicing nurses
Journal of Gerontological Nursing, by Mark Toles, Cameron Ulmer, Jennifer Leeman; 4/24
Older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are at high risk for acute medical problems and their health trajectories frequently include hospital admission and care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF). Their health trajectories after SNF discharge are poorly understood. Therefore, in the current study, we sought to describe health trajectories and factors associated with hospital read-missions for older adults with ADRD during the 30 days following SNF discharge.
