Talk:Assisted living

message: I added a  tag to the statement in Assisted living "Specialist EAL facilities covering the sexual needs of the elderly and others offering euthanasia plans have been opened at various offshore facilities, usually on pacific islands with temperate climates."  This subject sounds very interesting, but I can't find a source anywhere. Also, what is "EAL"?  Can't find that either, is it a business name?  Thanks.  --CliffC 20:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I SUGGEST THIS BE MAINTAINED AS A CATEGORY. I CAME ACROSS THE TERM AND CAME LOOKING FOR A DEFINITION. I WOULD NOT HAVE FOUND THE INFORMATION NEEDED IF IT HAD BEEN MERGED WITH RETIREMENT FACILITIES. ALSO, IT SEEMS THAT AL IS NOW BEING REFERRED TO A SITUATION WHERE TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP EXTEND HOME LIVING.

replies: text: Assisted living facilities are not retirement homes, nor are they nursing homes.  I am a part-owner of an assisted living facility and I can tell you that the requirements of each of these facilities are not only different, they are recognizably different under state and federal law in the United States, as well as the services they provide.  It would be wrong to list this subject under retirement homes or nursing homes, it is a separate category in it's own right and should be kept that way. Phaldor 16:14, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I am sure the program will have information that is  of interest to this page. XOttawahitech (talk) 18:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

text: I found a "text version" of this series at http://www.propublica.org/series/life-and-death-in-assisted-living/ - this would probably be more useful to us as a more easily citable and verifiable source than a tv series. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:22, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Life and Death in Assisted Living  

message: Keren Wilson should be mentioned in the article because she is the founder of the assisted living movement and built the first assisted living facilities back in the '90s also known as the "Oregon model". Actually, she rates her own biographical article, but adding her role to this article makes a good start. Here's some basic biographical article, though it's not from the media: . You can read about her role in developing assisted living in the book, "Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande. The book also includes biographical information as well as information about the founding and aims of assisted living. This information would also make a good addition to the article.
