Assisted living (AL) facilities are thought to serve residents with minor functional limitations. However, recent research suggests that AL facilities also primarily house a cognitively disabled elderly population with considerable general medical morbidity, in which about two-thirds of the residents suffer from dementia. While the physical environment has been shown to correlate with cognitive and physical well-being of residents in nursing homes (NHs), few studies have systematically investigated the effects of the physical environment of AL facilities on the outcomes.

Physical Environment Provisions of USP “Pharmaceutical Compounding—Sterile Preparations”
2012
American Society for Healthcare Engineering
Journal Article
Author(s): Beebe, C.
USP <797> reports standards and policies for all physical environments in which compounded sterile preparations (CSPs) are prepared, packaged, and stored. The standards apply specifically to people who prepare CSPs and must take care to reduce the risk of contamination from their behaviors, hygiene, and clothing (i.e., garb). Clinical workers whose work lies within this realm must be individually trained and evaluated to maintain the standards and reduce microbial contamination that results from contact.

Effect of morning bright light treatment for rest-activity disruption in institutionalized patients with severe alzheimer's disease

Studies suggest that exposure to light of adequate intensity and duration at the proper time of day can be associated with a positive improvement in the quality and duration of sleep. Since institutional environments tend to have very low light levels, residents may not be exposed to enough bright light to entrain the circadian clock to the 24-hour day. In particular, bright light treatment has been shown to improve sleep–wake cycle disturbances in some Alzheimer’s disease (AD) subjects.

Prevalence and Determinants Associated With Healthcare-Associated infections in Long-Term Care Facilities (HALT) in The Netherlands, May to June 2010

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections that patients get while receiving treatment for medical or surgical conditions. They are a major problem in the United States and elsewhere. In Europe, they increase morbidity and mortality and are the leading reason for residents of long-term-care facilities (LTCFs) to be hospitalized. HAIs may also affect the quality of life of the residents in LTCFs, but additional studies are needed to investigate the link.
