“…The assessment model used was predicated on the in-home assessment approach used in the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) research, 5 the assessment efforts pioneered by Busby-Whitehead et al 6 in her work at Carol Woods, and Royall et al at Air Force Village's Freedom House. 7 A literature review indicated that, while CCRCs routinely required physician examinations prior to resident admission, only Moorings Park used functional assessment tools to evaluate the cognitive and physical capacities of prospective residents.…”

Moorings Park Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) screened 267 applicants (115 males; 152 females; mean age 80.22 years) using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the 7-Minute Screen, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and the Physical Performance Test (PPT). They compared mean scores across admission/nonadmission groups to determine the extent to which cognitively impaired persons were effectively redirected from independent living settings inadequate for their needs. Groups differed (p < .05) on 21 test items/scores, including subscales of the 7-Minute Screen. The nonadmission group underperformed the admission group and healthy controls from earlier research, and outscored persons with Alzheimer's disease on all 7-Minute Screen subscales. Researchers concluded that geriatricians had effectively identified those with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and placed them into supervised settings more appropriate to their clinical and social needs.
