Assisted living is a vital component of long-term care in the
United States. In this volume, care providers, researchers, and
decision makers from the private and public sectors examine the
intersecting societal forces that are profoundly changing how we
offer care and housing for older people who need personal
assistance. The contributors examine how assisted living is both a
symptom and a catalyst of these changes.
The first section provides an overview of the current state of
assisted living care and the factors shaping its future appearance
and operations. It contains comprehensive discussions of how
consumer demand, government regulation, design philosophies,
operation and care approaches, and market forces are shifting and
what this means for small and large assisted living operations. In
the second part, the contributors examine how the private sector --
elder consumers, family members and other caregivers, owners and
operators of assisted living residences, professional
organizations, technology innovators, and private investors -- will
influence the future of assisted living. The third part focuses on
how the complex layers of federal, state, and local governments
will affect the availability and operational styles of assisted
living residences.
Clearly written, wide ranging, and featuring up-to-date
information and projections for the future, The Assisted Living
Residence is an indispensable book for care providers, housing
operators, investors, regulators, academics, insurance executives,
marketing professionals, and beginning and advanced students of
this important elder care alternative.
