Health and social care for the aging population in the United States continues to be a significant concern, because elderly long-term care continues to be problematic for consumers. Concern has focused on the disparity between institutional and non-institutional elderly long-term care sources, which results in restricted growth of non-institutionalized care for the growing aging population. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of the aging population in assisted living to better understand influences on long-term care expansion. The research question focused on the aging population's experiences with knowledge, understanding, and decision-making of elderly long-term care. Ten individuals in assisted living in Northern Virginia participated in open-ended, semi-structured interview sessions and shared their experiences and perceptions about elderly long-term care selection. The results of the interviews led to five emergent themes related to the research question. The first theme was that elderly residents had little or no participation in the selection of long-term care. The second theme related to the limited sharing of information with the aging regarding elderly long-term care options. The third theme revealed safety, independence, and social interaction were significant factors in elderly long-term care selection. The fourth theme analyzed family members and friends as trusted agents in the elderly long-term care decision-making process. The fifth theme centered around how the aging population in assisted living was unable to meet self-care needs. The study concluded with recommendations for future research to enhance and potentially expand long-term care for the future.
