  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Medication Management Services Offered in U.S. Residential Care Communities Author: Dwyer, Lisa L., Carder, Paula C., Harris-Kojetin, Lauren D. Year: 2014 Using data from the 2010 National Survey of Residential Care Facilities, this study estimated the percentage of U.S. residential care communities (RCCs) offering selected medication management services (MMS) and examined differences in prevalence by community characteristics. The most common services were central storage for medications and cueing residents, while the least common were administering injections and intravenous medications. Medication reminders, helping residents take medications, and administering drops/topical ointments and injections varied by RCC characteristics. Characteristics most commonly associated with these differences are size, purposefully built status, nursing hours, and availability of a physician or pharmacist to review medication appropriateness. Understanding these MMS variations may benefit clinicians’ efforts to achieve medication adherence among RCC patients, and inform policy makers, RCC providers, and consumers.

The proportion of for-profit facilities and facilities managed by a third party increased from 2008 by 8%. The acuity level of residents increased on most measures compared to 2008. Compared to 2008, residents across all three community types required more assistance with ADLs and used more health services. Residents of MCCs required the most assistance with ADLs and use of health services, which is similar to 2008. The percent of residents who used hospice services increased from 2008 by 2%. The percent of residents who visited the hospital or an emergency department increased from 10% in 2008 to 28% in 2014. The percent of residents using Medicaid increased from 2008 by 10%.
