title: Research institutes affiliated with nursing homes: strengths and developmental issues.
abstract: The United States currently has about 15 research institutes or departments affiliated with nursing homes, and several others are under consideration. This paper summarizes the results of a short survey of these research institutes. The advantages for both the nursing home and the researcher of having a research institute in a nursing home are discussed as well as some of the problems that emerge from this combination.
