The goal of this study was to identify risk factors for nursing home placements among dementia patients. The study concluded that cumulative incidence of placement was 90% in the dementia cohort and 50% in the controls. Certain variables seem to impact time to nursing home placements in all older persons, whether they had dementia or not. Among these were age, living in assisted living settings, increasing comorbidity scores, and increasing need for functional assistance.
