Robust standard errors, reported in parentheses below estimates, are calculated using clustering at the market (county) level.

All the regressions include the independent variables listed in Table 2 as well as year and county fixed effects.

^†Assisted living capacity is defined herein as county units per 1,000 persons over age 65.

^‡Case-mix models are weighted by number of residents per facility.
