Background:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) initiated the Assisted Living Pilot Program (ALPP) to fund assisted living (AL), adult family home (AFH), and residential care facilities.
This marked the first time the VA provided funding for these types of community-based residential care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the background and methodology of the ALPP evaluation.
To characterize the facilities participating in the ALPP and their experiences.

Main Methods:

Data were collected through the VA's contracting and inspection processes.
A survey was administered to ALPP-participating facilities and non-participating facilities that were contacted.

Main Results:

The study analyzed data from 131 participating facilities: 41 AFHs, 47 ALFs, and 43 RCFs.
Participating facilities averaged 33 beds, were typically for-profit, offered private rooms for VA residents (half with private baths), and about a quarter had Medicaid beds.
Approximately two-thirds of AFH providers primarily used a language other than English.

Conclusions:

A diverse array of community-based residential care facilities demonstrated willingness to provide care to veterans with heterogeneous needs under VA funding.
The ALPP facilitated access to various care settings for veterans, highlighting the adaptability of community providers.
