During the analysis, researchers examined the behavior of 46 nursing home residents with criminal histories, including sex offenses. They found that 54 percent of the residents transitioned into the long-term care setting smoothly with minimal difficulties and 24 percent had difficulties that were managed using standard nursing home resources.
They found that 10 residents were "uniquely challenging." These individuals committed intentionally aggressive acts, were extremely disruptive and "posed a danger to to the facility, the residents and the community." The researchers found that previous antisocial behavior was the best indicator of which individuals were most likely to fall into this group.
The goal of this analysis was to assist with F tag 22, which requires facilities to identify residents "whose personal histories render them at risk for abusing other residents."
