| Annotation | This analysis compares smaller and larger Assisted Living (AL) facilities in four US states to determine whether extant measures of four key concepts, used to distinguish the AL sector, give advantage to larger facilities. Quantitative comparisons predominantly show differences favourable to larger facilities. Qualitative information, on the other hand, raises the prospect that current measures overlook beneficial aspects of smaller facilities. If small facilities are included under the AL banner, both policy provisions and quality assessment must be carefully crafted to avoid placing small homes in funding and oversight jeopardy as AL develops.
