Conditions studied: Fragility

In brief

The goals of the proposed research were to: 1. describe the person and environment characteristics and activity patterns of residents in long-term care (LTC) facilities; 2. modify the evidence-based, occupation-based cultural heritage intervention (OBCHI) grounded on the results of Aim 1; 3. test the effectiveness of the OBCHI intended to facilitate adaptation to relocation into LTC facilities relative to a usual activities group; 4. determine the cost-effectiveness of the intervention conducted by in-house staff compared to the control group; and 5. examine person and environment factors as potential moderators of the relationship between treatment condition and adaptation outcomes.
