Ageing in place at home is a major goal for many older New Zealanders, including those living with dementia and their carers.
Identifying factors that lead to earlier entry to residential care in persons with dementia can help clinical interventions and services to allow those people to stay in their homes as long as possible.
This project explores the large and unique New Zealand interRAI database in relation to the complex and overlapping factors that lead to residential care admission in people living with dementia.
