title: The evolution of assisted living. A view from the states.
abstract: Use of nursing homes has declined significantly with the expansion of home care services and the explosion of assisted living facilities. To give consumers more choices, many states allow assisted living facilities to provide higher levels of service that enable residents to continue to live as independently as possible as their needs change.
