Moorings Park Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) screened 267 applicants (115 males; 152 females; mean age 80.22 years) using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the 7-Minute Screen, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and the Physical Performance Test (PPT). They compared mean scores across admission/nonadmission groups to determine the extent to which cognitively impaired persons were effectively redirected from independent living settings inadequate for their needs. Groups differed (p < .05) on 21 test items/scores, including subscales of the 7-Minute Screen. The nonadmission group underperformed the admission group and healthy controls from earlier research, and outscored persons with Alzheimer's disease on all 7-Minute Screen subscales. Researchers concluded that geriatricians had effectively identified those with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and placed them into supervised settings more appropriate to their clinical and social needs.
