State Variability in Assisted Living Residents' End-of-Life Care Trajectories

摘要

Objective: A growing and increasingly vulnerable population resides in assisted living. States are responsible for regulating assisted living and vary in their requirements. Little is known about how this variability translates to differences in the dying experiences of assisted living residents. The objective of this study is to describe assisted living residents' end-of-life care trajectories and how they vary by state.
