Objective: To present comprehensive profiles of nursing home residents with TBI at admission. Methods: Over 12 300 assessments from the Minimum Data Set were analysed to create these profiles. Results: Residents with TBI were overwhelmingly male and averaged 53.1 years of age at admission, with almost 30% being 40 years or younger. They tended to have substantial physical disability and severe cognitive impairment at admission. Compared to other residents at admission, residents with TBI tended to receive more treatments and rehabilitation therapies. Conclusion: Caring for residents with TBI presents major challenges for the staff in the traditional nursing home.
