Time use and costs of institutionalised elderly persons with or without dementia: results from the Nordanstig cohort in the Kungsholmen Project—a population based study in Sweden

Abstract

There is a variation in time use in institutional settings due to differences in ADL dependency but also whether dementia is present or not. This variation has implications for costs of institutional care.

Inactive Residents Living in Nursing Homes and Associated Predictors: Findings From a Regional-Based, Italian Retrospective Study

“…6,10,13,20 Further studies have also explored the effects of some programs aimed at maintaining 32 or enhancing activity engagement 33,34 ; moreover, other studies have measured the effects of activity on neuropsychiatric symptoms 35 and on the quality of life. 36,37 However, a few studies to date have compared the whole profile (eg, functional dependence, cognitive, emotional) of inactive residents with those of active residents, with respect to different types of activities, considering also NH characteristics among the predictors.…”

Costs of Care for Dementia Patients in Community Setting: An Analysis for Mild and Moderate Disease Stage

“…Related research in large part either especially targeted at Alzheimer's dementia [5][6][7][8][9] or referred to the US-American [9 -11] and Scandinavian context [12][13][14]. Against this background, Quentin and collaborators compared 28 studies on costs of dementia care [15].…”

Persons with Multiple Disabilities Exercise Adaptive Head and Hand-Eye Responses Using Technology-Aided Programs: Two Single-Case Studies

“…The number of sessions available within these two case studies and the previous three reported (Lancioni et al 2012) showed cumulative exercise periods of 20 to 100 min per day. These data may suggest that: the programs (a) need to be coordinated with all other daily activities and requirements, and (b) can have an extensive use and possibly a relevant impact making their development and realization costeffective (Findorff et al 2005;Nordberg et al 2007). One could also envisage the possibility of targeting two or more responses per participant.…”
