At baseline, sites rated themselves below the midpoint in all domains, with the highest scores in Domain 1 (M = .88, SD =.07) and Domain 3 (M = . 82, SD = . 10) . Linear mixed-effects models showed significant increases from baseline to 12 months across all domains. However, only Domain 1 demonstrated sustained improvement at each follow-up. Other domains improved by 12 months but showed variability across intermediate timepoints. To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies to examine MOST scores as an indicator of collective autonomy over time after implementation of a complex intervention. Findings suggest collective autonomy progress may be challenging to sustain. Future research should investigate strategies to reinforce autonomy across all domains and the relationship between environmental and process-related autonomy initiatives.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.2396  \nIMPLEMENTATION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF  \nAUTONOMY INITIATIVES IN LONG-TERM CARE  \nSETTINGS  \nAshley Smith1, A.

The Montessori approach promotes autonomy through individualized choice, engagement, and environmental modifications and is increasingly applied in long-term care settings (Yan & Traynor, 2023). Collective autonomy (e.g., shared decision-making) represents an important but often underexplored aspect of autonomy.
