Relational autonomy in assisted living
Communities of Care
"Little is known about why and when African American elders seek formal long-term care, or about the characteristics of assisted living environments they consider most desirable. Drawing on qualitative studies conducted between 1998 and 2001, the authors of Communities of Care provide important information on historic and current trends in assisted living systems serving African Americans." "Focusing on six facilities that have become models of l…
Managing Decline in Assisted Living
Findings point out the complexity of aging in place in ALFs and the need for a coordinated effort by facilities, residents, and families in the management of resident decline. Findings further highlight the necessity of residents being well informed about both their own needs and the capacity of a facility to meet them
Independence in assisted living
Managing the Care Needs of Low-Income Board-and-Care Home Residents
Small, low-income board-and-care homes play a critical role in the long-term care system, serving a variety of at-risk groups, including chronically mentally ill individuals, frail elders, and developmentally disabled adults. Unfortunately, the supply of homes available to serve these populations is decreasing. The purpose of this study, based on an in-depth ethnographic case study of one small (13-bed) African American-owned and -operated home i…
Perceptions of physical restraint use and barriers to restraint reduction in a long-term care facility
Functional Status and the Use of Formal Home Care in the Year before Death
A national sample of persons who died in 1986 was analyzed to obtain a valid estimate of the relationship between functional status and the provision of formal home care during the last year of life. Community-based care has become increasingly important as the size of the elderly population increases and the cost for institutional care rises. When people need help in caring for themselves because of illness, frailty, or disability, community-bas…

Introduction to Gerontology
Older Women
The older woman in our society is socially devalued and is subject to a number of harmful, negative stereotypes that picture her as sick, sexless, uninvolved except for church work, and alone. Moreover, when researchers study the aged, they too often fail to analyze the data for females separately from that of males, thus glossing over the differences and losing valuable information. It is possible, however, using data from studies which have use…

Differential Trends toward Equality between Whites and Nonwhites
The confusion as to whether nonwhites are moving toward equality with whites in various areas can be resolved by the use of an equality index which is a measure of the amount of overlap between two percentage distributions. The EI is the complement of the index of dissimilarity but the EI has the advantages of easier calculation and of positive directionality. Relative to comparisons of central tendency and most other indexes, the EI has the adva…
