Assisted living residents' concerns regarding their occupational performance are reported. Researchers interviewed twenty-two residents from four different assisted living facilities using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, a tool assessing concerns with valued life activities. Most common concerns were lack of desired active recreation, mobility, and passive recreation. Residents attributed identified concerns to physical health conditions and vision, along with facility features. Differing styles of life acceptance, degree to which residents felt like the facility was home, and degree to which activity options were meaningful vs. just "keeping busy" were themes that emerged.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
