Pharmacotherapy Research Priorities in Older Adults With Cardiovascular Disease in Nursing Homes, Assisted Living, and Home Care: Report From a Satellite Symposium of the ACC, AGS, NIA Workshop

Long-term care (LTC) services include a broad range of health, personal care, and supportive services provided at home (health agencies, hospice, or community providers) (HC), assisted living (AL) communities, and nursing facilities (NF).1 Although the population of adults >85 years is increasing, the number of NF residents (1.4 million) will remain flat. In the future, a significant proportion of LTC for older adults will be HC. Evidence regarding strategies to optimize pharmacotherapeutic outcomes and medication safety across the LTC spectrum is scarce, creating a strong research need.
