AnnotationIn this exploratory study, administrators of 14 assisted living facilities in Missouri were asked to describe resident behaviours and other issues that contributed to their decisions to discharge residents with dementia from their assisted living facilities to skilled nursing facilities. Whilst resident behaviours themselves were factors influencing discharge, the interaction of those behaviours with the assisted living facility's environment also influenced the decision to consider discharge to a skilled nursing facility.
