dc.description.abstractAssisted living (AL) is a complex housing program for seniors and other eligible clients that incorporates the notion of choice, autonomy and independence in its service delivery. The AL industry involves a variety of stakeholders from different agencies and organizations; AL is regulated under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act. While popular and appealing to the public, AL suffers from the lack of standardization in its operational and managerial processes. Clients may be vulnerable because of an absence of a dispute resolution mechanism or a support system for AL stakeholders, particularly once evictions arise. Since the cost, time, and effort required to re-house clients when they lose housing is far greater than measures geared towards assisting them in maintaining housing (Shern, et al., 1997), the need for developing the process to ensure eviction prevention in AL laid the grounds for this document. In the context of research, work-related experience and published literature on AL, I have (a) developed a process for tenancy management, (b) articulated the roles of AL stakeholders in the process of tenancy management and (c) proposed suggestions to improve practice and operations in the AL environment.en_US
