| Abstract | The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to identify the predictors of long-term-care facility residence of patients with Alzheimer 's disease (AD). The sample included 10,421 AD patients who were evaluated at Alzheimer 's Disease Research Centers in California (ARCCs) from 1985 to 2007. Based on logistic regression analysis, the predictors of long-term-care facility residence included older age, higher education, presence of depression, increased dependency in basic activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). The relationship between living situation and IADLs was modified by ethnicity and marital status. In a supplemental analysis among the subgroup of patients whose income information was available, white ethnicity, health care payment, income, and greater impairment in cognition were also associated with long-term-care facility residence. These factors could be used by health-care professionals in an attempt to predict and develop interventions to delay AD patients ' long-term-care facility residence. |
