hi John
We are currently tracking the outcomes of up to 95 people formerly in
nursing homes with ABI and deteriorating neurological conditions, who are
being moved to more community based options designed specifically for them
in Western Australia. The project itself is called the Young People in
Nursing Homes project (YPINH). Changes in quality in life are one of the
outcomes being monitored. We are using the Cummins ComQol I5 with the
addition of the empowerment scale from Schalock and Keith. We have also
adapted the Resident Outcomes System (ROS) developed by the Oregon STP to
try to gain a better understanding of changes in community participation
and integration, including contacts with people other than agency staff or
other residents I am happy to share some of our experiences with this
project off the list.
