AB  - Older  adults,  more  than  any  other  age  group,  reside  in  a  variety  of  settings.  Particularly  as  physical  and  cognitive  function  decline,  older  adults  require  increasing  levels  of  assistance  for  their  care.  In  addition,  functional  decline  following  serious  illness  or  injury  affects  the  ability  of  older  adults  to  return  directly  from  hospital  to  home,  leading  to  a  need  for  institutional  rehabilitation  prior  to  return  to  the  community.  This  chapter  describes  the  variety  of  living  situations  available  to  older  adults,  including  both  short-term  and  long-term  nursing  home  care  (Figure  18–1).
