Annotation	This presentation examines the public policy question of whether residential care facilities (RCFs) are appropriate settings for the receipt of personal care and even medically oriented services in the US. It looks at the differences between RCFs and nursing homes, and between licensed and unlicensed RCFs. Recent research is reviewed on defining and achieving an appropriate level of care, the regulations and service outcomes, and innovations in regulations, financing and monitoring care. (RH).
