Number of Participants That Completed Patient Quality of Life Survey Primary · Collected upon admission to the nursing home (Baseline) and again 21 days post-admission to the nursing home (Follow up)

12-item survey that measures quality of life in five dimensions: 1) physical; 2) emotional; 3) psychological; 4) spiritual needs, and 5) provision of information and support. Items scored on a 5 point Likert Scale (0=not at all, 4= overwhelmingly) based on symptom/need in the past week. Overall profile score is calculated by summing responses (range 0-40). Source: patient or family caregiver; Time to complete: 5-7 minutes

Number of Participants That Completed Satisfaction With Care Survey (SWC-EOLD) Secondary · Collected upon admission to the nursing home and again 21 days post-admission to the nursing home

10-item scale that measures caregiver satisfaction with care for persons with dementia. Each item is measured on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 4 ("strongly agree"). Specific elements include satisfaction with medical and nursing care, decision-making, and their understanding of the persons with dementia illness. All items are summed, yielding a range of scores of 10-40. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.

Number of Participants That Completed the Symptom Management Survey (SM-EOLD) Secondary · Collected upon admission to the nursing home and again 21 days post-admission to the nursing home

9-item scale administered to a caregiver that measures persons with dementia physical and psychological symptoms. Each item is rated on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 5 (0 = "daily", 1 = "several days a week", 2 = "once per week", 3 = "2 or 3 days a month", 4 = "once a month", 5 = "never"). Scores are summed and range from 0 to 45. Higher scores indicate better symptom management.

Sponsor's own description

Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are serious, life limiting illnesses with no known cure. Dementia is the fifth-leading cause of death in older adults and the majority of people with advanced dementia die in nursing homes (NHs). Miller et al reported that 40% of U.S. NH residents dying with advanced dementia received Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) care in the last 90 days of life, and receipt of this care was associated significantly with poorer end-of-life outcomes, including a higher risk of dying in a hospital, compared to decedents with no SNF care. SNF care is a Medicare post-acute rehabilitation service delivered in NHs focused on intense rehabilitation and/or aggressive, disease-modifying therapies. Regardless of life expectancy, use of SNF care precludes access to Hospice services. Palliative care (PC) offers an evidence-based alternative.
