This article examines the use of acute beds by the elderly in Manitoba over the five-year period, 1972--1976. The analysis reveals that transfers of long-stay (greater than 90 day) elderly to long-term care facilities took longer in 1976 than in 1972 despite major provincial initiatives which included construction of additional long-term treatment beds, expansion of home care resources, and extension of universal insurance coverage to long-term institutional and home care. Analyses of means to reduce long hospital stays prior to transfer suggests that building more long-term beds may be the least desirable policy alternative.

Unlabelled: Aging is associated with physiological, economic, and psychological changes that can compromise nutritional and functional status.
Aim: To determine the nutritional status of institutionalized older people living in a long-term nursing home "Fundación las Rosas" (FLR), the largest long-stay establishment in Chile, in 2019, and its relationship with functionality.

Pre-procedural nursing home length of stay and outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research and Department of Medicine, Hebrew Senior Life & Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Older adults with severe aortic stenosis (AS) may receive care in a nursing home (NH) prior to undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). NH level of care can be used to stabilize medical conditions, to provide rehabilitation services, or for long-term care services. Our primary objective is to determine whether NH utilization pre-TAVR can be used to stratify patients at risk for higher mortality and poor disposition outcomes at 30 and 365 days post-TAVR.
