| Annotation | Measures of satisfaction with assisted living from residents' and family members' perspectives were developed in this study. Data were collected from 204 residents and 232 family members associated with 11 assisted living facilities. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the goodness of fit of a priori measurement models. Iterative analysis to improve measurement models resulted in a multifaceted unidimensional model of resident satisfaction and a 5-factor model of family member satisfaction. These measures should help administrators attempting to meet the needs of their residents, and be useful to potential clients in judging the appropriateness of specific assisted living facilities.
