- Abstract
Over 800,000 individuals reside in 28,900 assisted living facilities (ALFs) nationwide.[1] ALF residents tend to be medically complex and increasingly depend on services provided in ALFs. ALF specialists were less likely to be ACO participants compared with occasional ALF clinicians and non-ALF clinicians (14.39% vs 34.41% and 33.30%) but were more likely to be employed by ALF specialized practices (17.55% vs < 0.10% and < 0.10%). Compared with non-ALF clinicians, ALF specialists and occasional ALF clinicians were more likely to be female (39.84% vs 78.27% and 56.73%) and in practices of 1 to 9 clinicians (28.21 vs 48.10% and 41.06%), and were less likely to be in rural locations (10.27% vs 3.63% and 9.39%) (Table 2).
