Abstract

Private Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) fill the gap between independent community living and institutional settings for seniors. There are marked differences between RCFs which make them difficult to compare. To address this issue, the objective of this study was to develop and validate a classification of RCFs based on their physical and organizational environments. RCF owners across Quebec were invited to complete a questionnaire that described the setting’s physical and organizational environment. Different combinations of cluster analysis methods and statistical parameters were used to identify plausible classifications. The final choice was made by an expert committee. Overall, 552 owners returned the questionnaire. Three plausible classifications were submitted to the committee. The selected classification included five clusters that differed with regard to admission criteria, services offered and recreational activities. This classification could help health professionals select the RCF that best responds to older adults’ needs.

Résumé

Les résidences privées pour personnes âgées (RPA) sont une option entre le domicile et les centres d’hébergement de soins de longue durée. Elles sont hétérogènes, ce qui complexifie leur comparaison. Objectif. Développer et valider une classification de RPA basée sur leur environnement physique et organisationnel. Méthodes. Les propriétaires d’une RPA du Québec ont été invités à remplir un questionnaire qui dresse un portrait de l’environnement physique et organisationnel du milieu. Plusieurs méthodes d’analyses de classification automatisée et différents critères statistiques ont servi à identifier les classifications potentielles. Le choix final a été confié à un groupe d’experts. Résultats. 552 propriétaires ont retourné le questionnaire. Trois classifications ont été soumises aux experts. Celle retenue contient 5 groupes qui se distinguent par la clientèle hébergée, les services offerts et les loisirs. Conclusion. Cette classification pourra aider les professionnels à choisir la RPA qui répond le mieux aux besoins d’une personne âgée.
