Long-term Care Facilities: 
The Mental Health Challenge

Step #1: “Identify the problem behavior”

• Development of charting that includes the ABC’s of behavior including
  
  
• A = antecedents,
  
  
• B = behaviors (operationally defined)
  
  
• C = consequences or outcomes
  

Step #2: “Identify or rule out medical and environmental causes
and psychosocial stressors”

• Complete comprehensive neuro (biological) psychological
  (environmental/social) evaluation
  

Step #3: Demonstrated failure of medical and environmental solutions.

• Develop behavioral/environmental intervention
  
  
• Monitor effectiveness of behavioral/environmental intervention via serial assessments
  
  
• Compare pre- vs. post-intervention findings to demonstrate level of effectiveness

Step #4: Differential diagnostic process:

• Mood Disorder vs.
  
  
• Dementia vs.
  
  
• nsomnia vs.
  
  
• Dementia with Agitation
  
  
• Other “treatable” Dementia
  
  
• Complete comprehensive evaluations that address neuro (brain-related) vs. psychological (social/environmental) contributions to symptoms
