About The Study: In this study, severe permanent impairment in function and cognition were common and often present near the end of life for long-term care residents, but a minority of residents lived in these states for years. These results suggest that building shared understanding and open communication about the natural course of frailty trajectories for long-term care residents may support resident-centered medical decision-making.
