found from professional nursing literature that will support the research problem that you have chosen for your innovation (proposal) project. The most significant
"finding" so far is that there apparently are no existing studies addressing the same issues contained in the proposed project. Many studies focusing on nursing home care exist, but
there are only a few addressing the qualities of assisted living. The two most significant studies found are those of Porell, Caro, Silva and Monane (1998) and Chapin, Wilkinson,
Rachlin, Levy and Lindbloom (1998). Porell, et al. (1998) measure nursing home outcomes for patients in Massachusetts nursing homes between 1991 and 1994, while Chapin, et al. (1998) assess
characteristics of those nursing home patients who were released from long term care in 1995. Porell, et al. (1998) found that Medicaid recipients are three times more numerous in
nursing homes than are non-Medicaid patients, which is notable given that assisted living facilities are not eligible to receive Medicaid funds. Chapin, et al. (1998) make no determination of
the destinations of those patients leaving nursing home care, but it can be assumed that at least a portion of them enter an assisted living facility.
One examination that does not qualify as a scientific study is an assessment by Macknick (1998) of how nursing homes market themselves. Change in demographics of

From the assisted living perspective, Sikorska (1999) assessed resident satisfaction with assisted living through interviews with 156 residents of 13 assisted living facilities,
