Abstract
Older adults receiving long-term services and supports (LTSS) experience barriers to outdoor activities and satisfaction ratings with such experiences are not well understood. Our study used cross-sectional data (n= 329) to (a) examine whether those new to LTSS were satisfied with their outdoor activities and (b) describe the characteristics and factors associated with satisfaction levels. Self-report of satisfaction with outdoor activities was the outcome variable. Multivariable linear regression modeling of the outcome was conducted. Fifty-nine percent were satisfied with their outdoor activities. More depressive symptoms (p< .001) and higher cognitive functioning (p= .011) were associated with lower ratings. Higher self-rated physical health (p= .009) and more independence with activities of daily living (p= .022) were associated with greater satisfaction. Findings suggest an unmet need among four in 10 new recipients of LTSS (41%) related to their outdoor activities. LTSS interdisciplinary teams can use these findings to inform their assessments, develop person-centered care plans, and address barriers.
