Jewish Home and Hospital for Aged, New York, NY 10025.
We interviewed 44 residents of a nursing home to assess their preferences for care. Using case vignettes, we asked residents about resuscitation, hospital transfer, feeding tubes, and restraint use. Most were opposed to aggressive care unless the purpose was to enhance comfort or safety. However, sufficient diversity of opinions points to the need for advanced directives.
