Abstract

Many older persons living with dementia and their families must rely on the long-term care (LTC) system. This research looks at how older persons with dementia journey through the LTC system, and what predicts their movement from home care (HC) into facility-based residential care (RC), as well as their unique experiences as they journey through the LTC system.
