Abstract Background and Objectives In integrated daycare, community-dwelling older people in need of care join existing groups in residential care facilities during the day. This study focuses on how nursing home residents experience the integrative care approach, exploring opportunities for social inclusion and mechanisms of exclusion. Research Design and Methods A purposive sample of residents differing in cognitive capacity and level of (non)conflictual interaction with daycare guests was selected. Episodic interviews with residents (N = 10) and close relatives (N = 2) were conducted in 3 pilot facilities in Germany and analyzed using thematic coding. Results The analysis revealed different orientation patterns towards the presence of daycare guests: respondents (a) demonstrated indifference to the daycare guests, (b) saw bonding with guests as a means to connect to the outside world, and (c) perceived incompatibility between in-group and out-group. Criticisms included disruption of daily routines and loss of privacy. Most interviewees came to terms with the care situation using rational and moral arguments. Discussion and Implications The study reveals the importance of residents’ participation when integrating daycare guests. Institutional procedures are required to prevent exclusion of daycare guests and avoid overtaxing residents.

A better understanding of the expectations and needs of the families of nursing home residents is needed for a constructive and sustainable relationship of mutual trust. The objective of this study was to understand the expectations of families of nursing home residents described in the literature. A systematic integrative review of the literature was conducted. After a rigorous selection made by two researchers, independently, 53 articles were selected out of 1,094 results. The expectations of families are quality care, consideration complying with human dignity of the resident, collaboration, honesty, and mutual confidence that ties together families, staff, and physicians. This study reveals that families consider themselves as a strength for a resident’s support services, in line with Gottlieb’s strength-based approach. This approach offers promising implications for practice and for a new type of management in nursing homes based on strong values.

Abstract. A growing body of research demonstrates an association between gait disorders, falls, and attentional capacities in older adults. The present work empirically analyzes differences in gait parameters in frail institutionalized older adults as a function of selective attention. Gait analysis under single- and dual-task conditions as well as selective attention measures were collected from a total of 33 nursing-home residents. We found that differences in selective attention performances were related to the investigated gait parameters. Poorer selective attention performances were associated with higher stride-to-stride variabilities and a slowing of gait speed under dual-task conditions. The present findings suggest a contribution of selective attention to a safe gait. Implications for gait rehabilitation programs are discussed.
