Abstract
The current study explored the association of nursing home (NH) residents' demographic and clinical attributes and NH characteristics with resident-reported satisfaction with NH communities. Pearson correlations and multiple linear regression were used to test the association of demographic and clinical attributes of residents and NH characteristics with resident-reported NH satisfaction with 197 NH residents from 28 NHs. Correlational analysis and regressions indicated an association among residents' demographic and clinical characteristics, NH characteristics, and self-reported NH satisfaction. Higher age, higher education, and race (minority status) were associated with greater resident-reported NH satisfaction. Greater NH staffing and for-profit ownership status were associated with less NH satisfaction. Greater resident depressive symptoms and dressing assistance were associated with lower resident-reported NH satisfaction. Administrators and staff should look beyond NH characteristics and consider their residents' diverse personal characteristics to create an environment that promotes satisfaction and well-being.
