  • Existing treatment approaches for these issues are often difficult to implement in long-term care settings.
  • Addressing behavioral issues is crucial for effective overall patient management and resident safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test a novel program, the ADAPT Program, for managing behavioral problems in elderly patients.
  • To identify and stratify treatable behavioral issues.
  • To apply established management guidelines through a structured team approach.

Main Methods:

  • The ADAPT Program was developed and tested at Geriatrix.
