Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To identify predictors of change in older adults' satisfaction with outdoor activities ratings over the first two years of enrollment in long-term services and supports (LTSS). METHODS: Self-rated satisfaction with outdoor activities (not at all satisfied to extremely satisfied) was the primary outcome of this secondary data analysis. Mixed-effects linear regression modeling with a backward elimination process was used for analyses. RESULTS: In the final model (N = 453) older LTSS recipients at baseline had lower ratings of satisfaction with outdoor activities over time, whereas younger recipients had higher ratings over time. Those who moved into a residential facility at baseline had an increase in outdoor activity satisfaction ratings over time compared to older adults who received home and community-based services that had a decrease. DISCUSSION: LTSS clinicians can use these findings to support older adults with decision-making around enrollment into LTSS, address preferences, and develop person-centered care interventions for outdoor activity.
