Activities of daily living and rehabilitation needs for older adults with a stroke: A comparison of home care and nursing home care

ConclusionAll of the ADLs, rehabilitation needs, and LTCS benefit levels for 1 year had improved in the home care patients, while they worsened in those who received nursing home care. This finding provides evidence to direct the policy of LTCS and offers information to guide older adults with a stroke and their family when deciding between the modalities of LTCS.
