Identifying Person-Centered Outcome Measures for Use in Adult Day Services: An E-Delphi Consensus Study.

ABSTRACT: Researchers and advocates recognize that adult day services (ADS) play a key role in delivering person-centered care to individuals living with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD). However, few ADS centers are routinely measuring person-centered outcomes, thereby limiting our ability to understand the impact of ADS on these key indicators of well-being. Guided by Kitwood's framework of person-centered dementia care, this study aimed to identify valid, reliable, and practical person-centered outcome measures that reflect ADRD quality-of-life domains. Twenty-two ADS practitioners and researchers (N = 22) participated in a two-round e-Delphi review to evaluate 10 potential outcome measures across four person-centered domains: meaning and purpose; engagement; social network
