The Imperative to Reimagine Assisted Living

Sheryl Zimmerman et al.

Summary: Assisted living (AL) is a care model that has evolved to meet the supportive care needs of older adults. However, the involvement of real estate, hospitality, and healthcare sectors has raised concerns about the variability, quality, and standards of AL. Despite the intention to provide person-centered care and quality of life, tensions related to AL models, regulation, financing, resident acuity, and the workforce have caused a deviation from the original constructs. This article presents the background of these tensions and potential solutions for a better future of AL.

As-Needed Prescribing and Administration of Psychotropic Medications in Assisted Living: A 7-State Study

Paula Carder et al.

Summary: This study examined the prescribing and administration of as-needed psychotropic medications in assisted living (AL) residents. The results showed that the prescribing of as-needed psychotropics in AL is relatively low, but more common among residents with dementia. The findings suggest the need to expand psychotropic medication policies to address mental health care, anxiolytic/hypnotic use for residents living with dementia, PRN prescribing in chart review, and the use of detailed indications for PRN use.

Putting the Nursing and Home in Nursing Homes

David C. Grabowski

Summary: Nursing homes in the United States often lack adequate nursing staff and a homelike environment, which was further exacerbated during the pandemic. The main reasons for these issues are the low reimbursement from state Medicaid payment systems and the lack of government accountability for how nursing homes spend their funding. To address these problems, reforms are needed in the payment system and oversight of nursing home expenditures.

Psychotropic medication prescribing in assisted living and nursing home residents with dementia after the National Partnership

Antoinette B. Coe et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the impact of the National Partnership to Improve Dementia Care in Nursing Homes (the Partnership) on the use of antipsychotic and other psychotropic medications in nursing homes (NH) and assisted living (AL) residents. The study found that the Partnership did not reduce the use of antipsychotic medications in AL residents and there was an increase in the use of anticonvulsants/mood stabilizers after the launch of the Partnership. Monitoring of all psychotropic medications in both AL and NH settings may be warranted.

The Relationship Between States' Staffing Regulations And Hospitalizations Of Assisted Living Residents

Kali S. Thomas et al.

Summary: Increased regulatory specificity for direct care workers was associated with a reduction in hospitalization risk among residents, while increased specificity for licensed practical nurses was associated with an increased risk of hospitalization. These findings can help inform state policy decisions regarding staffing requirements for assisted living settings, given the lack of federal requirements in this area.
