14、 like is to have everything madeclear.B Does assisted living really mark a great improvementover a nursing home, or has the industrysimply hired better interior designers?Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that anout-moded stereotype(固定看法)? Can doing ones homework really steer families t
15、o thebest places? It is genuinely hard to know.C I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that what kind of facility an olderperson lives in may matter less than wehave assumed. And that the characteristics adultchildren look for when they begin the search arenot necessarily the thin
16、gs that make adifference to the people who are going to move in. Iam not talking about the quality of care,let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and apoor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctionsbetween one
17、type of eldercare and anotherhave little real bearing on how well residents do.D The most recent of these studies, published in The journal of Applied Gerontology, surveyed150Connecticut residents of assisted living, nursing homes and smaller residential carehomes(known in some states as board and c
18、are homesor adult care homes).Researchersfrom the University of Connecticut Health Center asked theresidentsa large numberofquestions about their quality of life, emotional well-being andsocial interaction, as wellasabout the quality of the facilities.E “We thought we would see differences based on
19、the housing types,” said the lead author of thestudy, Julie Robison, an associate professorof medicine at the university. A reasonableassumptiondont families struggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if theycant?F In the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the most posit
20、ive picture. They wereless likely to report symptoms of depression than those in the other facilities, for instance,and less likely to be bored or lonely. They scored higher on social interaction.- 4 -G But when the researchers plugged in a numberof other variables, such differences disappeared.It i
21、s not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residentsresponses. “It isthe characteristics of the specific environment they are in, combined with theirown personalcharacteristicshow healthy they feel they are, their age and marital status,” Dr. Robisonexplained. Whether residents
22、felt involved in the decisionto move and how long they hadlived there also proved significant.H An elderly person who describes herself asin poor health,therefore, might be no lessdepressed in assisted living(even if her children preferred it) than in a nursing home. Aperson who had input into where
23、 he would move and has had time to adapt to it might do aswell in a nursinghome as in a small residential care home,other factors being equal. It is aninteraction between the person and the place, not the sort of place in itself, that leads to betteror worse experiences. “Youcant just say, Lets put
24、this person in a residential care homeinstead of a nursing homeshe will be much better off,” Dr. Robison said. What matters,she added, “is a combination ofwhat people bring in with them, and what they find there.”I Such findings, which run counterto common sense, have surfaced before. In a multi-sta
25、te studyof assisted living, for instance, University of North Carolina researchers found that a host ofvariablesthe facilitys type, size or age;whether a chain owned it;how attractive theneighborhood washad no significant relationship to how theresidents fared in termsofillness, mental decline, hosp
26、italizations or mortality. What mattered most was the residentsphysical health and mental status.What people were like whenthey came in had greaterconsequence than what happened once they were there.J As Iwas consideringall this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk,announc
27、ing that the five-star ratingsystem that Medicare developed in 2008 to help familiescomparenursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or theirfamily members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with theone-star facilities, the lowest
28、 rated, than with the five-star ones.(More onthisstudy and thestar ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)K Before we collectively tear our hair outhow are we supposed to find our way in a landscapethis confusing?here is a thought from Dr. Philip Sloane, a geriatrician(老年病学专家)atthe University of
29、North Carolina:“In a way, that could be liberatingfor families.”L Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the administrators andresidents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. But perhapsthey dont have to turn themselves into private inve
30、stigators or Congressional subcommittees.“Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy,” Dr.Sloane said.And involving the future resident in the process can be very important.M We all have our own ideas aboutwhat would bring our parents happiness. They have theirideas,
31、too. A friend recently took her mother to visit an expensive assisted living/nursinghome near my town. I have seen this placeit is elegant, inside and out. But nobody greetedthe daughter and mother when they arrived, though the visit had been planned ;nobodyintroduced them to the other residents. Wh
32、en theyhad lunch in the dining room, they satalone at a table.N The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there, and so she decided to move her into amore welcoming facility. Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that mighthave been as rational a way as any to reach a decision.- 5 -36. Many people feel guilty when they c
