Residents of assisted living facilities (ALF) transfer to a nursing home when they require a higher level of care, but limited research has examined risk factors for transfer to a nursing home. The aims of this study were to identify (1) baseline factors associated with transfer to a nursing home and (2) time-varying factors associated with transfer to a nursing home over 8 years, using a national dataset from the National Health Aging Trends Study (NHATS).
Son et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
