    This study models nursing care needs in elderly homes, finding care requirements stabilize after 5-6 years. The model helps predict changes based on admission policies for dependent and independent residents.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Healthcare Management
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Elderly care facilities face evolving resident needs over time.
    • Understanding long-term care status changes is crucial for resource allocation.
    • Previous models did not fully capture the dynamic nature of care requirements in residential homes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and apply a model for analyzing time-related changes in nursing care needs.
    • To determine the stabilized level of care required in homes for the elderly.
    • To simulate the impact of different admission policies on future care demands.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a 2-year study of mortality and nursing care changes in a Copenhagen elderly home.
    • Developed a specialized model for homes for the elderly based on specific admission and residency policies.

  • Calculated time-related changes in resident care status.

    • Main Results:

    • The model indicates that the need for care stabilizes after 5-6 years.
    • A stabilized state represents a "minimum need for care" with approximately 45% independent, 36% slightly dependent, and 17% heavily dependent residents.
    • Simulations illustrate potential shifts in care needs under different admission scenarios.

    Conclusions:

    • A stable minimum level of care need is reached in elderly homes after several years.
    • Admission policies significantly influence the future care status distribution within these facilities.
    • The developed model provides a tool for strategic planning and resource management in elderly care settings.
