Abstract: Using a consensus-based process and in partnership with the Center for Excellence in Assisted Living, AHRQ has developed a data collection tool that will collect uniform information about individual assisted living facilities (ALFs) in the United States to increase the value of healthcare for consumers by helping them make informed choices when selecting an ALF. Included in the development process was a voluntary committee of national representatives of Assisted Living consumers and researchers. The purpose of this project is to pretest the data collection tool.
