| Annotation | This pilot study randomly selected 4 nursing homes, five assisted living facilities, and 16 family care homes from a South Central state in the US. In-person and telephone interviews were conducted with administrators and resident-family-staff triads (n=79) to gather information on setting, resident functional status, family involvement, sociodemographic context and resident psychosocial status. Results indicated that type of facility, resident health conditions, resident race, and family orientation were significantly correlated with dimensions of resident psychosocial status. The findings suggest that multiple informants are necessary to determine the processes that lead to residents' quality of life, and that consideration of diverse settings offer greater insight into how positive resident adaptation is achieved in long-term care.
