We conducted a cross-sectional survey involving 349 older adults, family members, and long-term services and supports (LTSS) professionals in Minnesota to assess their views on priorities for residential LTSS quality. We found considerable agreement among the three groups on the highest priorities to ensure the wellbeing of older adults who use LTSS: safety, dignity, and staffing. Relationships were also viewed as a high priority. However, older adults prioritized the physical environment over professionals, and they expressed more varied opinions on priorities overall. Older adults also consistently rated autonomy/choice as less important than other quality domains, a finding worth further exploration.
我们在明尼苏达州对349名老年人、家庭成员以及长期服务与支持（LTSS）专业人员进行了一项横断面调查，以评估他们对居家LTSS质量优先事项的看法。我们发现，这三组人群在确保使用LTSS的老年人福祉的最高优先事项上达成了相当程度的共识：安全、尊严和人员配备。人际关系也被视为高度优先事项。然而，老年人比专业人员更看重物理环境，并且他们对优先事项总体上表达了更多样化的意见。老年人还一直将自主性/选择权评为比其他质量领域更不重要，这一发现值得进一步探究。
