Abstract | ObjectiveUltrahigh therapy use has increased in SNFs without concomitant increases in residents' characteristics. It has been suggested that this trend may also have influenced the provision of high-intensity rehabilitation therapies to residents who are at the end of life (EOL). Motivated by lack of evidence, we examined therapy use and intensity among long-stay EOL residents. |
