Long-term stability of nursing home residents’ everyday preferences remains unknown. This study examined one-year stability in reports of importance of 34 recreational activity preferences (8-MDS 3.0 Section F items; 26-Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory-NH items) by nursing home residents (n = 161).
