| Annotation | In the United States (US), states use forms of regulation in small board-and-care homes to control quality; however, quality varies in spite of these efforts. This study of 94 small facilities compared quality of care measures in homes regulated by a state-administered programme with those in non-regulated homes. It also compared homes on those variables using average payment for services as the independent variable. Results indicate that higher payments for services had a greater impact on quality than did participation in a regulatory programme. The study concluded that adequate funding may be the key to maintaining reasonable quality in these homes. (AKM). |
