Average monthly tray costs were sampled seven times, one pre-intervention and six post-intervention, for all 16 intervention facilities and for 16 non-intervention, comparison facilities. Participating in this study were long term residential care facilities which were legally organized as for profit corporations in the state of Illinois. A quasi-experimental data collection design was used to gather the data. Analysis of variance with repeated measures and t-tests were the principle statistics used to analyze this data.","Results indicated a statistically significant difference between the intervention and non-intervention groups with reference to average monthly tray cost. Wide variability of tray costs within both the intervention group and the non-intervention group was observed over time. Also noted was an absence of significant differences in the performance of the intervention group tray costs due to different consultants who were assigned to various facilities. The data revealed the development of a trend toward consistently lower mean tray costs and lower variability of those costs within the intervention group over the six-month research period. Implications for further research were discussed.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-15T18:51:31Z (GMT).
