Factors Influencing Older Persons' Transitions to Facility-Based Care Settings: A Scoping Review.

Background And Objectives: Older adults (≥65 years) are living longer with complex health needs and wish to remain at home as their care needs change. We aimed to determine which factors influence older persons' transitions from home living to facility-based care (FBC) settings such as long-term care facilities or assisted living.

Research Design And Methods: Through a scoping review of 7 databases, we considered all academic literature examining factors influencing transitions from home living to FBC.

The Association of Service Use and Other Client Factors with the Time to Transition from Home Care to Facility-Based Care.

Objectives: People are living longer with complex health needs and wish to remain in their homes as their care needs change. We examined which client factors (sociodemographic, health service use, health, and function) influenced older persons' (≥65 years) time to transition from home living to assisted living (AL) or long-term care (LTC) facilities.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Continuing and ceasing leisure activities in later life: a longitudinal study.
