摘要：
Principles of upstream palliative care can guide the planning, programs, and services associated with aging in place in assisted living residences (ALRs). Frail older adults who do not need a nursing home level of care are choosing to live-and die-in ALRs. This article describes the context of assisted living, resident characteristics, key indicators of palliative care, barriers to end-of-life care, and the role, responsibilities, and potential for professional nursing in assisted living. Stakeholder concerns about staff knowledge and skills in care of the-elderly, medication management, the risks associated with residential care, and nursing delegation are discussed.
