Description
Assesses whether the potentially higher utilization of
nursing facility services in rural communities can be
attributed to differences in use patterns by older adults
with dementia. Specifically, addresses the question of
whether rural nursing facility residents with dementia are
less impaired at the time of their admission to a nursing
facility than urban residents with dementia.
