Abstract
More than 800 000 individuals in the US live in 30 600 assisted living facilities with a capacity of 1.2 million beds.1 Assisted living facilities are settings in which residents typically have better mobility and cognition than in nursing homes, with lower staffing levels. The state survey process is less uniform in assisted living facilities compared with nursing homes. There is no standard definition of assisted living, but the term is typically defined as care settings that provide room and at least 2 meals, assistance with personal care, and round-the-clock supervision.2
