| Overall and potentially inappropriate antipsychotic use were common in both assisted living (26.4 and 23.4%) and long-term care (31.8 and 26.8%) settings. |
| Correlates of antipsychotic use were similar among assisted living and long-term care residents, including potentially concerning associations with dementia, frailty, and other psychotropic medication use. |
| This study provides evidence to support the expansion of initiatives aimed at reducing inappropriate antipsychotic use in long-term care settings to include assisted living facilities. |
