The nursing home versus the hospital as the place of dying for nursing home residents in Japan

End-of-life care bonus promoting end-of-life care in nursing homes: An 11-year retrospective longitudinal prefecture-wide study in Japan

“…Our study analyzed facility factors associated with the number of EOL care residents in their facilities. Thus, the study design did not assess resident factors known to be associated with EOL care in nursing homes, including having an end-stage disease, not having pneumonia as the cause of death, the process of decision-making in their EOL (defined as "advance care planning") among residents or the family, ethnicity, race, lower activities of daily living, lower cognitive status, older age, and full-time physician support (15,24,(27)(28)(29)(30).
