Choices in scale, guided by quality or legislation? : The influence of institutional factors on assisted living facilities

Choices in scale, guided by quality or legislation? : The influence of institutional factors on assisted living facilities

Samenvatting

Since the eighties, Dutch residents of care homes have been housed in Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) in order to age in place and live with higher social quality of housing. Scale, group mix and social quality of housing of these ALFs has not yet been explored. Initiators decide on experience and intuition or guided by policy and exploitation. The question arises: Are choices in scale for assisted living facilities based on quality factors or guided by institutional influences as legislation and financing? A desk research of 593 projects was made besides a multiple case study in 24 projects. Significant relations were found, partly in line with presuppositions on quality drivers, partly inexplicable. Comparing these incongruities with changes in legislation and financing, plausible relations were found. This leads to the conclusion that decisions for ALFs are based more on institutional factors and less strictly on quality choices than is avowed.
