Note: df = degrees of freedom; ANOVA = Analysis of Variance; a Bathing did not have enough residents in each category to power a one-way ANOVA; † p < 0.05 for mean difference between residents who were independent in ADL and residents who were completely dependent; ‡ p < 0.05 for mean difference between residents with modified independence in ADL and residents with complete dependence in ADL; § p < 0.05 for mean difference between residents who were independent in ADL and residents with modified dependence in ADL.
