Answer 1

Ans) The market of long-term care facilities is changing to include more alternatives to the traditional, large institutional setting that many of us picture when we think of long- or assisted-living facilities. Some providers are taking a different approach to the environment of long-term care using the "small home" model.

- Costs associated with ALFs are anticipated to continue to increase over the next several years based on the growth of the baby boomer population, larger sized ALFs and the increase in number of individuals with chronic health conditions.

- Costs, however, will vary widely from
state to state and facility to facility. Consumers should strongly consider shopping among the
many different ALFs available in their area, comparing both costs and services provided in order to determine which facility best meets their needs.
