Abstract | Examined placement of 248 older mentally ill persons into independent settings, community-based programs, or level III or level IV nursing homes. Risk of institutionalization increased as cognitive skills and family support declined. Consistent predictor of placement was prior residence. Number of medical problems and need for nursing or therapeutic services were not significant predictors of nursing home placement. (Author) |
