| dc.description.abstract | The Problem: This study examined the assisted living (AL) environment and its relationship to residents’ satisfaction with AL. The Resolution: Baseline data from a study testing the dissemination and implementation of function-focused care included a sample of 501 residents in 54 AL facilities. Multilevel structural equation modeling was used. The results showed that the model fit the data. Gender and physical function were associated with residents’ satisfaction. The AL environment, measured by staffing, health services, amenities, and physical environment, was not related to residents’ satisfaction. Tips for Success: Given the projected increase in demand in AL, there is a need to understand how settings can be designed to optimize residents’ satisfaction. Future research should consider additional factors, such as aspects of the social environment. | en_US |
