Abstract
Inadequate research methods and unsatisfactory measures of quality and cost of care usedin the existing literature suggest that intensive study should be conducted into the for-profit/notfor-profit status of nursing homes. This paper analyzes the relative merits of nonprofit andfor-profit nursing homes. Recommendations are then made for improving future research and for underscoring areas which have been neglected to date.Keywords
