  • Title: New frontiers in integrated care.
    Author: Gramann D.
    Journal: Caring; 1999 Apr; 18(4):14-7. PubMed ID: 10537505.
    Abstract:
    A combination of extended life expectancy and the graying of America is resulting in a rapidly growing industry known as assisted living. Based on a Scandinavian model for senior housing, assisted living first emerged in America during the mid 1980s. The concept is still so new that states that license these facilities do not agree on a precise definition. It is generally considered a residential alternative between independent retirement living and total institutionalized skilled care.
