Many individuals receiving post-acute and long-term care services in nursing homes have unmet palliative and end-of-life care needs. Hospice has been the predominant approach to meeting these needs, although hospice services generally are available only to long-term care residents with a limited prognosis who choose to forego disease-modifying or curative therapies. Two additional approaches to meeting these needs are the provision of palliative care consultation through community- or hospital-based programs and facility-based palliative care services. However, access to this specialized care is limited, services are not clearly defined, and the empirical evidence of these approaches’ effectiveness is inadequate. In this paper, we review the existing evidence and challenges with each of these three approaches. We then describe a model for effective delivery of palliative and end-of-life care in nursing homes, one in which palliative and end-of-life care are seen as integral to high quality nursing home care. To achieve this vision, we make four recommendations: 1) Promote internal palliative and end-of-life care capacity through comprehensive training and support; 2) Ensure that state and federal payment policies and regulations do not create barriers to delivering high quality, person-centered palliative and end-of-life care; 3) Align nursing home quality measures to include palliative and end-of-life care-sensitive indicators; and 4) Support access to and integration of external palliative care services. These recommendations will require changes in the organization, delivery, and reimbursement of care. All nursing homes should provide high-quality palliative and end-of-life care, and this paper describes some key strategies to make this goal a reality. This paper describes the current approaches, evidence, and challenges in delivering palliative and end-of-life care in nursing homes and recommends strategies for integrating this care into high quality nursing home care.
