Alzheimer friendly assisted living regulation

Hearthstone Alzheimer's Care, Ltd., Wellesley, MA; Gerontology Institute, University of Massachusetts, Boston, Massachusetts.

Assisted living is increasingly recognized as an important option for people with Alzheimer's and related disorders. Although 30 to 40 percent of people in assisted living and residential care settings are suffering from dementia, regulations in many states have not kept pace with this reality. This article identifies areas where regulations may support or undermine assisted living providers serving those with dementia, and suggests ways in which regulators, advocates, and providers may work together to create Alzheimer friendly assisted living regulation.
