“…The time needed to support and assist staff is a real-life concern for busy nurses who are often the only RN in the AL setting. As AL moves away from a hospitality model to address the often complex medical conditions of residents, advocacy for diverse RN contributions as a standard component of AL care (Vance, 2008) is essential.…”

Depression is a common, disabling and under-recognized problem among older adults in assisted living (AL) settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate stakeholder perceptions of using a blended model of depression care that combines essential features of evidence-based collaborative care and elderly outreach for use in AL settings. A descriptive design using mixed methods was used to assess perceptions of the three main components of the depression model: onsite depression care management, staff development activities, and AL nurses as staff resources and liaisons to primary care providers. Quantitative and narrative responses were consistently positive and supportive of depression care approaches. Potential barriers included time constraints for staff and costs for residents. These data provide strong support for further evaluation of the blended depression model. Staff development activities may be implemented independent of the model to enhance depression recognition, assessment and daily care approaches in AL.
