In a recent book published by Springer titled Assisted Living Through Research, Policy, and Practice: What’s in the Name? CEAL@UNC Executive Director, Dr. Sheryl Zimmerman and affiliate Dr. Helena Temkin-Greener (co-editors) alongside other CEAL@UNC affiliates and colleagues explore “how well assisted living communities are fulfilling their original mission of providing both assistance and quality of life.” Based on a review of existing evidence and discussion with assisted living providers and consumers, the book describes current and emerging practices and policies with the potential to improve care and well-being for those who live and work in assisted living.
Publicly available abstracts for each chapter are available here.
