One reason for the low occupancy may be a lack of willingness among older adults to live …

To help equip workers, three ethical principles are proposed to guide interactions in the area of spirituality. These principles can be summarized…

We integrate two theories of job satisfaction to investigate relationships among workplace support, role overload, and job satisfaction. Data are from a survey of 984 direct care workers in 108 assisted living facilities. Results …
