Abstract
Rest homes, one of the oldest models of long-term care, were originally designed to provide housing for seniors lacking family support. To better understand the types of residents currently served by Massachusetts rest homes, a statewide Web-based survey was conducted. The purpose of the survey was to provide a comprehensive description of the characteristics and demographics of rest home residents. This single-state study demonstrates that the rest home industry is supporting an aging population with many complex care needs. Data from this survey will be used to help determine appropriate funding and regulatory oversight that sustain the industry.
