To examine the attitudes of residential care/assisted living (RC/AL) and nursing home (NH) administrators toward hospice and to assess facility and administrator characteristics related to those attitudes. ⋯ Findings from this paper provide insight about RC/AL facility and NH administrators' attitudes towards Hospice using scale data, an area with limited research. They indicate positive attitudes toward Hospice care coordination, and that Hospice should supplement, as opposed to replace, the care provided by facilities. Findings also suggest areas where targeted outreach and further study may be recommended.
