Summary

This study will evaluate pain, management of pain, behavioral symptoms, and the quality of staff-resident interactions between residents with and without dementia, test the relationship of these variables to participation in function focused care at baseline, and consider if there is a differential impact of FFC-AL-EIT between those with and without dementia with regard to participation in function focused care, functional outcomes and physical activity over the 12 month study period. Findings from this study will provide new information on how to optimize function and physical activity among older adults with dementia in assisted living.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Function Focused Care

The intervention in the parent study involves the use of a participatory implementation approach as delineated in the Evidence Integration Triangle. Prior to implementation, we meet with the administrator, service coordinator, delegating or oversight nurse or setting contact designee to identify the setting champion and stakeholder team members. In addition to the champion, we recommend the following individuals be included in the stakeholder team: an administrator in a leadership position (e.g. assisted living manager, delegating/overseeing nurse); a direct care worker; a family member; an activity staff member if available; and a resident. FFC-AL-EIT is implemented by a Research Nurse Facilitator working with the stakeholders using our four step approach: (I) Environment and Policy Assessments; (II) Education; (III) Establishing Resident Function Focused Care Service Plans; and (IV) Mentoring and Motivating.
