31、ework really steer families to thebest places?It is genuinely hard to know.C I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that whatkind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we haveassumed.And that the characteristics adult children look for when theybegin the search

32、are not necessarily the things that make a difference tothe people who are going to move in.I am not talking about the qualityof care,let me hastily add.Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environmentwith irresponsible staff and a poor safety record.But an accumulatingbody of research indicates that some

33、distinctions between one type of*欧阳光明*创编 2021.03.07*欧阳光明*创编 2021.03.07elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.D The most recent of these studies,published in The journal of AppliedGerontology,surveyed 150 Connecticut residents of assisted living,nursing homes and sma

34、ller residential care homes（known in somestates as board and care homes or adult care homes).Researchers fromthe University of Connecticut Health Center asked the residents a largenumber of questions about their quality of life,emotional well-being andsocial interaction,as well as about the quality

35、of the facilities.E“We thought we would see differences based on the housing types,”said the lead author of the study,Julie Robison,an associate professor ofmedicine at the university.A reasonable assumptiondont familiesstruggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they cant?F In the init

36、ial results,assisted living residents did paint the mostpositive picture.They were less likely to report symptoms of depressionthan those in the other facilities,for instance,and less likely to be boredor lonely.They scored higher on social interaction.G But when the researchers plugged in a number

37、of other variables,such differences disappeared.It is not the housing type,they found,thatcreates differences in residents responses.“It is the characteristics of thespecific environment they are in,combined with their own personalcharacteristicshow healthy they feel they are,their age and maritalst

38、atus,”Dr.Robison explained.Whether residents felt involved in thedecision to move and how long they had lived there also proved*欧阳光明*创编 2021.03.07*欧阳光明*创编 2021.03.07significant.H An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health,therefore,might be no less depressed in assisted living（even if

39、 her childrenpreferred it)than in a nursing home.A person who had input into wherehe would move and has had time to adapt to it might do as well in anursing home as in a small residential care home,other factors beingequal.It is an interaction between the person and the place,not the sortof place in

40、 itself,that leads to better or worse experiences.“You cantjust say,Lets put this person in a residential care home instead of anursing homeshe will be much better off,”Dr.Robison said.Whatmatters,she added,“is a combination of what people bring in with them,and what they find there.”I Such findings

41、,which run counter to common sense,have surfacedbefore.In a multi-state study of assisted living,for instance,Universityof North Carolina researchers found that a host of variablesthefacilitys type,size or age；whether a chain owned it；how attractivethe neighborhood washad no significant relationship

42、 to how theresidents fared in terms of illness,mental decline,hospitalizations ormortality.What mattered most was the residentsphysical health andmental status.What people were like when they came in had greaterconsequence than what happened once they were there.J As I was considering all this,a pre

43、ss release from a respectedresearch firm crossed my desk,announcing that the five-star rating*欧阳光明*创编 2021.03.07*欧阳光明*创编 2021.03.07system that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families comparenursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied itsresidents or their family members ar

44、e.As a matter of fact,consumersexpressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities,the lowest rated,than with the five-star ones.（More on this study and the star ratings willappear in a subsequent post.)K Before we collectively tear our hair outhow are we supposed tofind our way in a landscap

45、e this confusing?here is a thought from Dr.Philip Sloane,a geriatrician（老年病学专家)at the University of NorthCarolina:“In a way,that could be liberating for families.”L Of course,sons and daughters want to visit the facilities,talk to theadministrators and residents and other families,and do everythingp

46、ossible to fulfill their duties.But perhaps they dont have to turnthemselves into private investigators or Congressional subcommittees.“Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to behappy,”Dr.Sloane said.And involving the future resident in the processcan be very important.M We

47、 all have our own ideas about what would bring our parentshappiness.They have their ideas,too.A friend recently took her motherto visit an expensive assisted living/nursing home near my town.I haveseen this placeit is elegant,inside and out.But nobody greeted thedaughter and mother when they arrived

48、,though the visit had beenplanned；nobody introduced them to the other residents.When they had*欧阳光明*创编 2021.03.07*欧阳光明*创编 2021.03.07lunch in the dining room,they sat alone at a table.N The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there,and so shedecided to move her into a more welcoming facility.B

49、ased on what isemerging from some of this research,that might have been as rational away as any to reach a decision.36.Many people feel guilty when they cannot find a place other than anursing home for their parents.37.Though it helps for children to investigate care facilities,involvingtheir parent

50、s in the decision-making process may prove very important.38.It is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a nursinghome.39.How a resident feels depends on an interaction between themselvesand the care facility they live in.40.The author thinks her friend made a rational decision
