Report on Quality in Assisted Living in the U.S.

The Division of Health Policy and Management at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health and the Minnesota Department of Health published a report in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association on identifying different approaches and indicators to evaluate the quality in assisted living communities in the United States. The report concludes that the lack of standardized measurement of quality interferes with person-centered care in US-based assisted living settings. The report identified 9 unique domains that they concluded should inform future concerted efforts to develop standardized quality measurements in assisted living communities.
