A Snapshot of Memory Care: Regulation, Staffing, and Adverse Events in Memory Care Units within Assisted Living Facilities
The results indicate that states with policy language that is more aligned with the Alzheimer's Association 2018 Dementia Care Recommendations may drive lower hospital visit rates, higher direct care staff time spent with residents, while staff ratio requirements may not. Aide and RN hours spent with residents may also influence the likelihood of resident ED visits.
