Distribution of Adult Day Health Centers and Persons Living with Dementia Among Hospital Service Areas in Rhode Island
2023
Overview
INTRODUCTION: Adult day health centers (ADHCs) provide an important service to community-dwelling adults with functional dependency. This includes persons living with dementia (PLWD) and their caregivers, but we don't know how well ADHC capacity matches the distribution of PLWD. METHODS: For this cross-sectional study, we identified community-dwelling PLWD using Medicare claims, and ADHC capacity using licensure data. We aggregated both features by Hospital Service Area. By linear regression, we determined the association between ADHC capacity and community-dwelling PLWD. RESULTS: We identified 3836 community-dwelling Medicare beneficiaries living with dementia. We included 28 ADHCs, with licensed capacity for 2127 clients. The linear regression coefficient (95% Confidence Interval) for number of community-dwelling beneficiaries with dementia was 1.07 (0.6-1.53). DISCUSSION: Rhode Island's ADHC capacity distribution roughly approximates the distribution of persons with dementia. Plans for the future of dementia care in Rhode Island should consider these findings.
