Characteristics by Level of Mental Retardation

Table 36 presents estimates of selected characteristics of residents with mental retardation and related conditions in mental retardation facilities by their reported level of retardation or for those residents reported to have "related conditions" only.

Activities of Daily Living

Statistics on independent performance of selected activities of daily living showed clear and expected associations with level of mental retardation. Among persons with borderline/mild, moderate and severe mental retardation there were progressive decreases in the proportion of residents reported to be independent in performance of activities of daily living as the reported severity of cognitive impairment increased. But among people with profound mental retardation, there was much less independence reported in key activities of daily living than among people with severe mental retardation. With respect to the proportion independently performing key activities of daily living, persons with related conditions only (i.e., reported not to be mentally retarded) tended as a group to have reported levels of independence which averaged in the range between people with moderate and people with severe mental retardation. However, it should be noted that this group represented only about 1% of the sample (33 sample members) and these estimates have limited reliability.

There was a notable magnitude of the difference between residents with mild/borderline mental retardation and profound mental retardation in ability to perform basic self-care tasks independently. An estimated 79.5% of the former, but only 6.5% of the latter were reported to be able to bathe independently; 85% of the former, but only 9% of the latter were reported to be able to dress themselves independently. Clearly the strong association between the residents' degree of mental retardation and their abilities to perform activities of daily living independently was a primary factor in the differences among facilities in residents' levels of independence (see Tables 18-23).

Use of Special Equipment

Of the estimated 19.0% of residents of mental retardation facilities using wheelchairs, most, were profoundly retarded. The 39.1% of persons with profound mental retardation living in mental retardation facilities made up 75.6% of all mental retardation facility residents using wheelchairs. Very small proportions of residents required catheterization (.9%), with no appreciable difference by level of retardation. Very small proportions of residents used symbol systems or communication boards as their usual means of communication (1.1%). The estimated percentage of sample members with related conditions but not mental retardation using such devices (3.6%) was slightly higher than the percentage for persons with mental retardation, but this difference was not statistically significant.

Special Conditions

Epilepsy. An estimated 29.9% of persons with mental retardation and related conditions in mental retardation facilities were reported to have epilepsy. The prevalence of epilepsy was strongly associated with residents' level of retardation, occurring in an estimated 15.5% of residents with mild/borderline mental retardation, 21.5% of persons with moderate mental retardation, 26.7% of persons with moderate mental retardation, and 43.2% of persons with profound mental retardation. About two-thirds (67.0%) of the small number of mental retardation facility residents with related conditions only (i.e., not mental retardation) had epilepsy.

Cerebral palsy. An estimated 11.9% of persons with mental retardation and related conditions in mental retardation facilities were reported to have cerebral palsy. The prevalence of cerebral palsy was also substantially related with level of mental retardation, being reported for only 6.0% of residents with mild or moderate mental retardation, but 9.3% of residents with severe mental retardation and 19.5% of residents with profound mental retardation. About a quarter (25.6%) of the residents who were reported to have related conditions only had cerebral palsy.

Autism. An estimated 3.6% of the people with mental retardation and related conditions living in mental retardation facilities were indicated to have autism recorded in their medical records. This condition was most commonly recorded for persons with related conditions but not mental retardation (10.6%) and persons who were reported to be severely mentally retarded (5.7%). The lack of a higher recorded prevalence of "autism" among persons with profound mental retardation may derive from respondents attributing certain autistic-like behavior among persons with profound mental retardation (e.g., self-stimulation or detachment from other people) to the individual's profound mental retardation rather than to the condition of "autism" per se.

Blindness. An estimated 4.4% of persons with mental retardation and related conditions in mental retardation facilities were totally blind. Although relatively rare overall, blindness was associated with the level of mental retardation recorded in the medical records of sample members. While only 1.1% of persons with mild or moderate mental retardation and 2.5% of persons with severe mental retardation were reported to be blind, 9.5% of persons with profound mental retardation were reported to be blind.

Deafness. Only an estimated 1.7% of residents of mental retardation facilities were reported to be completely deaf. Deafness was not associated with level of mental retardation.

Circulatory conditions. An estimated 10.8% of residents of mental retardation facilities have circulatory system conditions. There is a small association of these conditions with the less severe levels of mental retardation. This relates to the strong association between circulatory system conditions and older age, and the lower proportions of persons with profound mental retardation among older residents.

Problem Behavior

Hurting others. An estimated 30.3% of mental retardation facility residents were reported to on occasion attempt to hurt other people. The prevalence of aggressive behavior was highest among persons with severe mental retardation (40.6%), with fairly consistent rates (between 24.7% and 30.6%) reported for other groups.

Hurting self. An estimated 24.4% of persons with mental retardation and related conditions living in mental retardation facilities were reported to on occasion hurt themselves physically. Reported prevalence was highest among persons with severe and profound mental retardation (29.4% and 29.8%, respectively) and lowest among persons with mild/borderline mental retardation and people who had related conditions but were not mentally retarded (1 3.0% and I 1.0%. respectively).

NOTES. Total maintained capacity is number of set up beds in reporting unit, estimated from weighted data on facility questionnaire. Total current residents and residents with MR/RC we weighted estimates from resident baseline questionnaire. Most facilities with Medicaid certification (78.4%) we indicated to be 100% certified. For other facilities with Medicaid certification, total ICF, ICF-MR, and SNF beds we estimated to be the number of set up beds multiplied by the midpoint of multiple categories (e.g., 0-10% = 5%) of the recoded variables "percent of beds certified." Facilities with missing bad certification data but which are ICF-MR certified are assumed to be 100% ICF-MR. Per diems by range are the estimated percentage of residents in each facility category living in facilities In each per diem range. Facility size weights are "set up beds." Direct care personnel estimates are expressed as number of FTE direct care staff (licensed nurses, nurses aids/orderlies, recreating/activity staff, and "all other care staff") per set up bad. "Part time" assumed to equal 50% FTE. Data are weighted to represent correct proportions of set up beds (approximately equal to the number of residents). Row and column totals may not be equal because of differences in missing data across cells.
