“…The lack of response is often attributed to the fact that transitions in functional status, care arrangements, and residential situations are potential stressors for individuals and families -- they are often associated with emotional upheaval and negative physical sequelae (Carpenter et al, 2007; Lafortune, Béland, Bergman, & Ankri, 2009; Pot, Deeg, Twisk, Beekman, & Zarit, 2005) -- but few long-term or large scale studies have been conducted to better understand the barriers to Preparation for Future Care (PFC)(Carpenter et al, 2007; Lafortune et al, 2009; Pot et al, 2005; Pot, Zarit, Twisk, & Townsend, 2005; Rossen & Knafl, 2007; Zimmer, Wen, & Kaneda, 2010). The purpose of this study is to introduce tools to further investigate factors that facilitate and prevent future care planning in larger samples and diverse populations, using an epidemiological approach.…”

The purpose of this paper is to introduce two short-forms of a previously published measure of Preparation for Future Care (PFC). Community-dwelling older adults aged 65–94 who had completed a 29-item PFC scale were randomly divided into scale development (n=697) and scale validation samples (n=690). Fifteen items were selected using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on the scale development and scale validation samples, respectively. Consistent with PFC Theory, the five subscales of the original long-form measure (awareness, gathering information, decision making, concrete planning, avoidance) were maintained. A 5-item scale with acceptable score reliability and validity was also developed. Compared to the long form, these short forms are more easily incorporated into epidemiologic studies and can be used in medical, psychology, and social work practice to initiate discussions about long-term care planning.

“…Everard, Lach, Fisher, and Baum (2000) reported a coefficients ³.71 for the four domains measured, and Carpenter et al (2007) reported a coefficients ³.83. Test-retest reliability has been reported as high, with intraclass correlations ranging from .71 (Carpenter et al, 2007) to .98 (Chan, Chung, & Packer, 2006). ACS scores have content, construct, and predictive validity (Baum & Edwards, 2008).…”

OBJECTIVE. The goal for this study was to determine methods to modify outcome measures for people with aphasia and to provide beginning support for the efficacy of these suggested modifications.METHOD. Twenty-nine community-dwelling people with aphasia participated. Modified outcome measures included the Stroke Impact Scale, the 36-item short form Medical Outcomes Study, Reintegration to Normal Living Scale, and Activity Card Sort. Participants were supported in their responses by systematically applying a hierarchy of support. An Independence Scale score was determined for each measure for each participant. RESULTS.Data from an examiner-rated Independence Scale, internal consistency of participants' responses, correlations among subscale scores across measures, and correlations between aphasia severity and reported outcome provide evidence that people with aphasia are able to understand and respond with these supports.

“…The notion of getting help is not pressing because the care demands still seem manageable. This is a good time for caregivers to learn about the disease, its treatment, care options, and other financial or legal matters (Carpenter et al, 2007). …”

The need to plan for future health care and residential adjustments increases with age, growing frailty, and restrictions in coverage of long-term care and will continue to grow with population aging. Older adults’ lack of financial preparation for health care costs, insufficient knowledge about available options, and inadequate communication about care-related values has become an increasing public health challenge. This chapter describes a model of Preparation for Future Care (PFC), which encompasses different levels and domains of planning. Research about the extent to which planning is helpful in navigating care transitions is reviewed, and barriers and facilitators of planning including individual, familial, cultural, and national long-term care policy factors are discussed. Planning in the context of dementia and practical approaches that can be taken to enhance PFC is addressed, as well as recommendations for future research in the area of planning and decision making in the context of care transitions.
