“…It was difficult to clarify the relationship between the caregiving system and LDC. Our previous report showed that sons and daughters‐in‐law were factors promoting long‐term day‐care use . The differences in the results between this study and previous reports may be due to the differences of the participants and/or analytic methods.…”

“…Our previous report indicated that dementia, as measured by ASSD scores checked by caregivers, influenced LDC . Another report showed that a low initial ASSD score was a factor in prolonging day‐care use . In this study, multivariate analysis showed that ASSD scores were related to LDC for each sex.…”

“…However, a low final score on N‐ADL was also associated with prolonged day‐care attendance. In our previous study, patients who were cared for by their sons and daughters‐in‐law attended our day‐care clinic for a long time despite their low final N‐ADL score . It was assumed that maintaining their physical condition was necessary for the continuation of day‐care activities.…”

It was suggested that patients with high cognitive and physical functions attend the day-care clinic for a long time. It was necessary to control the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia for those using day care in the long term. However, patients with low physical function at the end of day-care attendance may also attend our day-care service in the long term if they receive favourable assistance.

“…We did not find studies specifically comparing the effects of DC and HC services on changes in cognitive and physical functions as well as behavioral symptoms of PWD. Nevertheless, previous studies have demonstrated that DC services can have a positive impact on health and well-being of PWD 19,23,30 and caregivers. 25,31 We observed that behavioral symptoms improved in both groups after 1 year of receiving services in the comparison of matched cohorts, even though the difference between the two groups was not significant.…”

Objectives First, to compare changes in cognitive function, behavioral symptoms, and physical function for Korean Long‐Term Care Insurance (LTCI) beneficiaries with dementia in day care (DC) and home care (HC) settings over 1 year. Second, to examine the association between LTCI service type and the aforementioned health outcomes. Methods A retrospective matched cohort study was conducted using the national data set of the National Health Insurance Service in Korea. We identified 7822 beneficiaries with dementia who received either DC or HC services consistently for 1 year from 2008 to 2009. The propensity score matching method was used, yielding 416 participants in each group. Paired samples t‐tests and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results Baseline differences between the two groups are present. According to multiple regression models, DC, when compared with HC, was related to less deterioration in cognitive and physical function but was associated with less improved behavioral symptoms 1 year after the LTCI enrollment. In the comparison between matched cohorts, DC, when compared with HC, was associated with less cognitive decline, less disability progression, and similar decrease in behavioral symptoms. Conclusions Cognitive function and disability declined less in the DC group, compared with the HC group. Conversely, behavioral symptoms showed a similar decrease between the two groups after 1‐year follow‐up. Further research is necessary to examine key features of DC services that have helped delay functional deterioration and alleviate behavioral symptoms.

Background: Currently 564 000 Canadians are living with dementia, and this number is expected to rise significantly in the next 15 years. Many individuals with dementia use adult day programs; however, contradictory evidence exists as to the effects that adult day programs have on individuals with dementia and their caregivers. Purpose/Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the perceived effects that an adult day program had on individuals with dementia and their caregivers, from the perspective of care providers at an adult day program. Design: A qualitative research design was used to guide this study. Methods: One-on-one semistructured interviews were completed with all of the adult day program care providers (n = 7). Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: The adult day program care providers identified several benefits of adult day programs for individuals with dementia and their caregivers. Two themes emerged, including (1) the role of care providers and (2) time to breathe. Conclusions: Adult day programs have the potential to benefit caregivers and care recipients. Other community support programs may be able to use the knowledge gained from this qualitative study to implement strategies into existing adult day programs to provide support for care recipients and caregivers.

Abstract: It is better to control behavioral and psychological symptoms in order to improve the utilities of day care for dementia patients. The caregiving environment of dementia patients might be associated with the length of day care attendance.
