PURPOSE
To identify and compile ideas and best practice methods illustrating
cost effective approaches to RCAC facility design, development,
financing, staffing, programming and other operations. Results
will be publicized through materials developed by the project,
the affordable assisted living web site, and in training workshops
and conferences.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A supply of moderately priced assisted living facilities
and services is needed if assisted living is to become widely
available to people of modest means. Part of our challenge
is to find ways to reduce the cost of the creation and operation
of assisted living developments as well as to tap into various
sources of public support to pay for care provided to people
participating in public long term support programs. This work
group will identify areas where costs could potentially be
reduced and information would be useful to potential developers
and providers; provide direction for research into these areas;
identify examples from Wisconsin or elsewhere; provide project
specific information; and review and comment on the technical
assistance material produced.
