title: Experiencing change: progress and pitfalls.
abstract: A small, rural community takes the effort to make the transition from a skilled nursing facility to an assisted living model of care delivery. These changes are needed because of the cost and access of services available in this setting. The system of care delivery being considered is based on the model called Aging in Place (AIP).
