The findings of this exploratory study emphasize the importance of communication between and among nurse administrators in various settings for patient education, staff development and coordination of services to provide continuity of care for older people. The nurse administrator in all settings is in a key position to seek internal and external funding for creative programs and establishing standards for care. This study has merely tapped the surface; much more research needs to be carried out, especially in nursing homes, to understand the complex health problems of older people.
