Representation in the care planning process for nursing home residents with dementia.
This study examined the participation of residents, family members, or representatives in nursing home (NH) long-term care planning for residents with cognitive impairment. A large for-profit NH system was used to recruit study participants. A sample of 18,552 long-stay NH residents in 2016 were surveyed. Of residents with no cognitive impairment, 8% had family or representative participation in care planning, compared with 26% of residents with severe impairments. Family participation was greater in NHs with more social workers.
