Background: Medical conditions and dependency levels of the elderly in the Lebanese long-term care institutions have not been described.
This may undermine care commissioning and development to institutionalized elderly.
Data to inform policy and practice are needed.
Objective: To identify clinical diagnoses and dependency levels among elderly residents in long-term care institutions in Lebanon.
Methods: Cross-sectional survey of long-term care institutions throughout Lebanon as identified by the Ministry of Social Affairs.
Results: Thirty-one out of 42 longterm care institutions have been included in this survey.
Among them, 1371 elderly subjects were included in the analysis ; 75.6% were over the age of 75, and female represented 67%.
Medical morbidities and associated disabilities have driven admission in 70.5% of residents ; 45.6% of residents reported dementia, stroke or other neurodegenerative disease.
Overall, 60% of residents required locomotor assistance.
Conclusions : Elderly residents in long-term care institutions are predominantly females, with mental and/or locomotor disabilities resulting from neurological and arthritic conditions.
Targeting healthcare for such health conditions remains a challenge for the institutions.
Keywords : geriatric assessment, long-term care, elderly, dependency, residential care
