| Popis: | To demonstrate the usefulness of primary data collection using clinician-rated and self-rated standardized measures to describe adult day program (ADP) populations and address programming issues such as identifying members at risk of dropping out.One ADP in London, Ontario, and 2 ADPs in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A total of 223 community-dwelling older adults were recruited across the 3 different programs.The interRAI Community Health or Home Care Assessment and self-rated psychosocial assessments were collected on program enrollment. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, comparison of the populations between ADPs, and multinomial regression models to assess reasons for program withdrawal.Mean ages across the 3 programs ranged from 78.3 to 83.8 years and the proportion of women ranged from 49.3% to 56.6%. Compared with one of the ADPs, members from 2 other ADPs exhibited higher use of mobility aids (P .001), higher levels of cognitive impairment (P .05), increased risk for institutionalization (P .001), lower levels of depression (P .01), and greater need for supervision for basic and instrumental activities of daily living (P .01). Members assessed to be at higher risk for institutionalization and have increased medical complexity showed possible association with program withdrawal at one ADP.The tools were useful in identifying differences in physical and psychosocial characteristics of members across the 3 ADPs. Information collected from interRAI and self-rated psychosocial assessments may be helpful in the development of individualized care plans, program services, and recommendations that target transitional care. By understanding member profiles and reasons for withdrawal, ADPs may be able to develop strategies to help members stay in the program and live in the community longer. |
