So this study really speaks to the importance of #deprescribing and medication optimization in nursing home residents. The proportion of residents in Ontario nursing homes with 9+ prescriptions increased from 45% to 64% between 2000 and 2015! https://t.co/cPI1ua6xGw

What people are saying
The overall tone indicates recognition of the significance of the increasing health complexity among nursing home residents, with discussions referencing operational challenges like staff workload and medication management. Words such as 'timely,' 'important,' and mentions of policy and systemic changes demonstrate a shared concern about adapting care approaches to these evolving needs.
Most discussions acknowledge and support the findings of increased complexity among nursing home residents, emphasizing the relevance of the study to ongoing healthcare issues.
The discussions show moderate interest, focusing on implications for care practices and policy, rather than deep technical details.
Many posts actively comment on healthcare challenges, such as staffing, medication management, and assessment practices, reflecting a thoughtful engagement.
The discussions suggest the study has a meaningful impact by highlighting systemic issues like resource limitations and the need for policy changes.
Abstract in brief
- The study examined how the characteristics of new nursing home residents in Ontario changed from 2000 to 2015, focusing on age, health conditions, and functional status, and also developed an algorithm to identify these residents using health data.
- Results showed residents are getting older, with more individuals aged 85 and above, and increasingly complex health issues, such as multiple chronic conditions and dementia.
- The findings highlight that new residents are entering nursing homes with more severe physical and cognitive impairments over time, reflecting a rise in care needs and complexity.

@Cinamongrrl Respectfully, that is not the intent of my tweet. I understand and share your anger at the operators. Due to an aging population & healthcare underfunding, people are arriving at LTC much later in their dementia trajectory, with higher care needs. https://t.co/iLvXRr6kmK
