This paper reports the results of a study that investigated changes in the medical and functional status of nursing facility residents over a 2.9 year period. Sixty-seven residents from 10 nursing facilities were included in the study, which demonstrated that the resident's medical and functional status deteriorated during this period. These changes adversely affected the residents' ability to receive recommended dental treatment, suggesting that early, definitive, and often aggressive treatment approaches be used in providing services to these individuals.
