Older adults with dementia half as likely to move to a nursing home if they live with adult children: study

Researchers at the University of Michigan have found major differences in potential family caregiver availability — and likelihood of moving to a nursing home — based on the gender, race, ethnicity, education level and family structure of older adults with dementia.
The study draws from comprehensive interviews conducted between 2002 and 2014 with a national sample of nearly 5,000 people with dementia. The data come from the Health and Retirement Study, which is based at the university’s Institute for Social Research.
