Assessing residents’ preferences is an important first step in providing person-centered care. However, few studies have examined the structure of preference importance among older adults in nursing homes (NH) and those receiving home and community based services (HCBS). This study uses available data from interviews with 255 NH residents 528 HCBS recipients using the Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory. Findings highlight the variability of preference importance within and across care settings. Frequencies of important preferences show that only one preference (regular contact with family) is reflected in both the NH and HCBC “top 10” lists. For the NH, 96.5% identified having staff show you respect as important. For HCBS, after having family and friends involved in your life, 89.4% identified spending time outside as important. Implications for providers seeking to implement preference-based care are discussed.
