Abstract
The changing characteristics of institutionalized aged are reviewed. Research evidence about problems in institutional living is discussed. Data point to unresolved issues about the relationship between institutions and the community, the status of chronic care, segregation of the aged, and matching environments to needs of the aged. Some proposals for innovation, affecting the nature of institutional living, are suggested.Keywords
