TY - GEN AB - Someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s disease every 68 seconds; by 2050 it will be every 33 seconds. Nationwide caregivers provide 80% of the care given in the community. Dementia is increasingly cited as a reason for long-term care. In 2010, forty-two percent of residents in assisted living had Alzheimer’s disease or other related dementias. When family caregivers (FCGs) can no longer provide the care required, transitioning into AL or other long-term care environments is often necessary. This dissertation used a qualitative descriptive approach to examine how the AL’s approach to visitation between the FCG and the PWD influenced the admission transition for the FCG.
