Abstract

ObjectivesAdult day services centers (ADSCs) may serve as an entrée to advance care planning. This study examined state requirements for ADSCs to provide advance directives (ADs) information to ADSC participants, ADSCs’ awareness of requirements, ADSCs’ practice of providing AD information, and their associations with the percentage of participants with ADs.MethodsUsing the 2016 National Study of Long-Term Care Providers, analyses included 3,305 ADSCs that documented ADs in participants’ files. Bivariate and linear regression analyses were conducted.ResultsNine states had a requirement to provide AD information. About 80.8% of ADSCs provided AD information and 41.3% of participants had documented ADs. There were significant associations between state requirements, awareness, and providing information with AD prevalence. State requirement was mediated by awareness.DiscussionThis study found many ADSCs provided AD information, and ADSCs that thought their state had a requirement and provided information was associated with AD prevalence, regardless of state requirements.
