Strategies for Oral Health Care Practitioners To Manage Older Adults Through Care-Setting Transitions
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: As patients age, there are changes in dependency, medical conditions and mobility that directly affect treatment needs and recommendations. Some of these patients can be treated in a private practice setting while others require treatment in long-term care facilities or places of residency. As older adults transition through stages of dependency and housing environments, oral health care providers simultaneously must transition how care is managed in the areas of assessment, prevention, treatment and communication.
