Table 2.

Psychotropic medications in a home-like model of residential care compared with standard models of care

Home-like model, OR (95% CI), P value
Psychotropic medication 0.24 (0.12, 0.46), < 0.001
Antipsychotic medication 0.67 (0.34, 1.33), 0.25
Antidepressant medication 0.50 (0.28, 0.88), 0.02
Benzodiazepine medication 0.11 (0.05, 0.24), < 0.001

The reference for prescribed one or more psychotropic medications is being prescribed no psychotropic medications. The models are adjusted for facility-level confounding factors: location, number of direct care hours, facility cost and size of facility and resident-level characteristics: age, sex, marital status, PAS-Cog scores, number of co-morbid conditions, NPI scores, social ties and Barthel Index
