Using the Kastenbaum and Candy study of locations where persons aged sixty-five plus died over the period of one year in a large metropolitan city as a model, this study examined the place of death for persons aged sixty-five plus in a middle-size city. In both studies particular attention was paid to nursing homes and extended care facilities to determine whether or not the commonly accepted figure of 5 per cent accurately reflects the number or persons actually living in such facilities. The premise was that if persons died in such a facility, then they had in fact lived there. This study demonstrates, as had the Kastenbaum and Candy study, that the actual percentage of persons dying in these institutions far exceeds the commonly held 5 per cent.
本研究以卡斯坦鲍姆和坎迪对一个大城市中65岁及以上老人在一年时间内死亡地点的研究为模型，调查了一个中等规模城市中65岁及以上老人的死亡地点。在这两项研究中，都特别关注了养老院和长期护理机构，以确定普遍认可的5%这一数字是否准确反映了实际居住在这类机构中的人数。前提是，如果有人在这类机构中死亡，那么他们实际上就居住在那里。正如卡斯坦鲍姆和坎迪的研究一样，本研究表明，在这些机构中死亡的实际人数比例远远超过了普遍认为的5%。
