Statistical significance noted as follows: **p < .01, * p < .05

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.
