Leadership tenure is related to aide turnover in US assisted living facilities: Cross-sectional secondary data analysis

The United States is experiencing a growing demand for residential long term care from a rapidly increasing aging population with greater longevity. Responding to this demand, the number of assisted living facilities (ALFs) is growing and ALFs as a residential care option are gaining in popularity. The acuity of ALF residents is also increasing through a combination of “aging in place” and higher acuity on admission (Kissam, Gifford, Mor and Patry, 2003). This has been occurring alongside a decrease in the number of nursing home beds (Mollica et al., 2012).
