Assisted living residents value independence but often face unmet health needs and limited community engagement. Facility features significantly impact resident experiences, promoting autonomy and community involvement while minimizing care issues.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Services Research
  • Sociology of Aging

Background:

  • Assisted living (AL) facilities are a key component of long-term care.
  • Understanding resident experiences within AL is crucial for improving care quality.
  • Factors influencing autonomy, care access, and community integration require investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how assisted living settings foster or impede resident choice, access to necessary care, and community belonging.
  • To identify specific program and site features that shape resident experiences in assisted living.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews were conducted with 396 residents across 20 assisted living facilities.
  • Interviews also included program staff and administrators to provide a comprehensive perspective.

  • Analysis focused on understanding facilitators and barriers to resident autonomy, care, and community.

    • Main Results:

    • Residents reported high levels of independence but frequently experienced unmet health and long-term care needs.
    • Participation in meaningful activities and community life was often limited for residents.
    • Assisted living program and site characteristics were found to significantly influence resident autonomy and community involvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Assisted living facility design and programming play a critical role in resident well-being.
    • Interventions should focus on enhancing community integration and ensuring access to needed health and long-term care.
    • Supporting resident independence while addressing care gaps is essential for quality assisted living.
