[The most recent of these studies, published in The Journal of Applied Gerontology, surveyed 150 Connecticut residents of assisted living, nursing homes and smaller residential care homes ( ' , known in some states as board and care homes or adult care homes).

Whether residents felt involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived there also proved significant.

What mattered most was the residents' physical health and mental status.

Researchers from the University of Connecticut Health Center asked the residents a large number of questions about their quality of life, emotional well-being and social interaction, as well as about the quality of the facilities.

Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the administrators and residents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties.

It is not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residents' responses.

In a multi-state study of assisted living , for instance, University of North Carolina researchers found that a host of variables—the facility's type, size or age; whether a chain owned it; how attractive the neighborhood was—had no significant relationship to how the residents fared in terms of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality.

How a resident feels depends on an interaction between themselves and the care facility they live in.

Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy, Dr.Sloane said.

But nobody greeted the daughter and mother when they arrived, though the visit has been planned; nobody introduced them to the other residents.

But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.

At first the researchers of the most recent study found residents in assisted living facilities gave higher scores on social interaction.

As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk, announcing that the five-star rating system that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or their family members are.

And involving the future resident in the process can be very important.

A resident's satisfaction with a care facility has much to do with whether they had participated in the decision to move in and how long they had stayed there.

A reasonable assumption—don't families struggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they can't? In the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the most positive picture.
