This case study documented the nature of changes in the financing and delivery of services with the conversion of a nursing home in small town Alberta to designated assisted living (DAL) and explored the effects on residents and families. It was funded in part by the M-THAC Opportunities Fund. The paper has been disseminated to the Alberta government, and to other stakeholders. A manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal is in preparation.
