AnnotationAssisted living (sheltered housing in the UK) represents a social model of care for frail older people that combines housing and services to support their independence. 156 residents in 13 assisted living facilities participated in the development of the Resident Satisfaction Index (RSI). Exploratory factor analysis confirmed five hypothesised RSI subscales representing perceptions of health care, housekeeping services, physical environment, relationships with staff, and social life/activities. The RSI instrument could be used by policymakers and professionals interested in improving the quality of life for the frail older people in assisted living. (KJ/RH).
