✦ Synopsis

Objective:

This study investigated the reliability and validity of a chronic care facility adaptation of the clinical dementia rating scale (cdr-cc).

Method:

Sixty-two residents in a chronic care facility participated in an inter-rater and 1 month test-retest reliability study. the instrument was validated against the mini-mental state examination (mmse).

Results:

Inter-rater and 1 month test-retest reliability for the global cdr-cc score were excellent (intraclass correlation coefficients 0.99 and 0.92, respectively). the cdr-cc domain and global scores were negatively correlated with the mmse.

Conclusions:

The cdr-cc is a global assessment tool that reliably and validly measures cognitive and functional impairment in a chronic care setting.
