To understand physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) staffing levels in nursing homes and to examine their relationship with quality of care.
To examine the change in physical functional status among persons living with HIV (PLWH) in nursing homes (NHs) and how change varies with age and dementia.
To investigate the course of depressive symptoms in newly admitted nursing home (NH) residents and how resident characteristics were associated with the symptoms. To identify groups of residents following the same symptom trajectory.
To estimate the attributable fraction of nursing home placement associated with cognitive impairment, neuropsychiatric symptoms, behavioral disorders, functional limitations, and caregiver burden.
To explore profiles of obese residents who receive post-acute care in nursing homes (NHs) and to assess the relationship between obesity and hospital readmissions and how it is modified by individual comorbidities, age, and type of index hospitalizations.

Empirical evidence regarding potentially avoidable hospitalizations (PAHs) among these residents is quit...
The purpose of this study was to test a model of the resident and community factors that are associated with quality of care interactions among nursing home (NH) residents living with dementia and test for invariance between model fit when tested with the Black versus White residents and female versus male...
