The association between rurality, places of care and the location of death of long-term care home residents with dementia: A population-based study

Statistics Canada · 2024 · PubMed

Summary. This study analyzed 65,375 long-term care residents with dementia in Ontario between 2014 and 2019. Rural residents were more likely to die in their care homes, while urban residents experienced more hospitalizations and died outside care facilities. Urban LTC homes sent residents to hospitals at roughly double the rate of rural homes, suggesting geography shapes end-of-life care patterns for dementia patients.
