Abstract
This paper looks at the complexity of the “quality-of-care” issue and discusses five characteristics which investigators have suggested for identifying a good old age institution (OAI): ownership, size of facility, socioeconomic status of facility, social integration, and “professionalism” of staff. Researchers, practitioners, and regulators have been less than successful in determining how to increase the quality of care in OAls.Keywords
