24、in the basic subjects of math,Englishand reading.The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physicaleducation classes should be cut as schools struggle to30onsmaller budgets.The arguments against physical education have includedconcerns that gym time may be taking away from study t

29、rly relative needs to enter some sort of long-termcare facilitya moment few parents or children approach withoutfearwhat you would like is to have everything made clear.B Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursinghome,or has the industry simply hired better interior designer

30、s?Arenursing homes as bad as people fear,or is that an out-moded stereotype(固定看法)?Can doing ones homework really steer families to the best10places?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 le

31、ss than we haveassumed.And that the characteristics adult children look for when theybegin the search 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

32、 irresponsible staff and a poor safety record.But an accumulatingbody of research indicates that some distinctions between one type ofelder 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 15

33、0 Connecticut residents of assisted living,nursing homes and smaller residential care homes(known in some statesas board and care homes or adult care homes).Researchers from theUniversity of Connecticut Health Center asked the residents a largenumber of questions about their quality of life,emotiona

34、l well-being andsocial interaction,as well as about the quality 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 families11struggle to av

35、oid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they cant?F In the initial 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

36、social interaction.G But when the researchers plugged in a number 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 personalcha

37、racteristicshow healthy they feel they are,their age and maritalstatus,”Dr.Robison explained.Whether residents felt involved in thedecision to move and how long they had lived there also provedsignificant.H An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health,therefore,might be no less depresse

38、d in assisted living(even if her childrenpreferred it)than in a nursing home.A person who bad 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 p

39、lace,not the sortof place in itself,that leads to better or worse experiences.“You cant12just 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 th

40、ey find there.”I Such findings,which run counter to common sense,have surfacedbefore.In a multi-state study of assisted living,for instance,University ofNorth Carolina researchers found that a host of variables the facilitystype,size or age;whether a chain owned it;how attractive theneighborhood was

41、had no significant relationship to how the residentsfared in terms of illness,mental decline,hospitalizations or mortality.What mattered most was the residents physical health and mentalstatus.What people were like when they came in had greaterconsequence than what happened one they were there.J As

42、I was considering all this,a press release from a respected researchfirm crossed my desk,announcing that the five-star rating system thatMedicare developed in 2020 to help families compare nursing homequality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or theirfamily members are.As a

43、 matter of fact,consumers expressed highersatisfaction with the one-star facilities,the lowest rated,than with thefive-star ones.(More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a13subsequent post.)K Before we collectively tear our hair outhow are we supposed tofind our way in a landscape thi

44、s 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 everythingpossib

45、le 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 all

46、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,thou

47、gh the visit had beenplanned;nobody introduced them to the other residents.When they hadlunch in the dining room,they sat alone at a table.N The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there,and so she14decided to move her into a more welcoming facility.Based on what isemerging from some of this

48、 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 parents in the decision-making process may prov

49、e 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 in choosing amore hospitable place over a

50、n apparently elegant assisted living home.41.The system Medicare developed to rate nursing home quality is oflittle help to finding a satisfactory place.42.At first the researchers of the most recent study found residents inassisted living facilities gave higher scores on social interaction.43.What
