Treating residents with behavior problems takes a committed, well-trained, and motivated staff. Unfortunately, the facility or program cannot rely solely on staff compassion and previous training to deal with problematic behaviors in which some residents engage. Programs need to be equipped to assist residents in behaving in more adaptive ways. Recent research indicates that 91% of residents in a long-term care facility have at least one psychiatric diagnosis and at least one behavior problem. In fact, the study reveals that 50% of residents have four or more behavior problems.
