Survey Data

This report provides information on departures from assisted living, the reasons for departure, and those resident and facility characteristics that affected the likelihood of various resident outcomes associated with departure.

This report presents data from a telephone survey of the administrators of assisted living facilities across the country. These facilities were selected from a national probability sample of all facilities that met the criteria for inclusion in the study. Thus, the findings are representative of the industry as a whole.

The Research Triangle Institute (RTI) conducted the Discharged Residents Survey for ASPE through a subcontract with Myers Research Institute (MRI). The survey was administered during June and July 1999. This report documents the data collection activities undertaken by RTI for the survey.
