Dementia screening tests in New Jersey assisted living facilities

As our assisted living populations change and acuities rise it is vital that our assessment tools meet the ever expanding needs of our residents. Residents who have or may have dementia comprise 60% of all assisted living residents. AALNA feels this study will provide AL clinicians, owners and operators with some foundation and recommendations for new or alternative tools for screening for the levels of cognition in this population.
