Health

Although some claims have been made that people with ADRD, even in advanced stages, can at the very least be as effectively managed in assisted living settings as in nursing homes (Brown et al., 1993), there is as yet no empirical evidence to assess the effectiveness of such care for people with ADRD. A strong case can be made that by providing separate accommodations for clients, assisted living provides a prima facie argument for improving the quality of life for cognitively intact people who may share the same facility with people with ADRD and may offer an environment to allow people with ADRD to function without the need for as many external controls.
