The purpose of this study was to identify reliable predictors of nursing home entry over a 3-year period in a sample of 3,944 persons with dementia who resided in a home setting at baseline. Strengths of the analysis include a multiregional recruitment strategy, incorporation of salient caregiver characteristics, and a 3-year prospective design that allows for the modeling of change in important variables (e.g., care recipient functional status or caregiving indicators) when time to institutionalization is predicted.
