Abstract
The objective of this review is to critically synthesize the existing literature on
family involvement in residential long-term care. Studies that examined family involvement
in various long-term care venues were identified through extensive searches of the
literature. Future research and practice must consider the complexity of family structure,
adopt longitudinal designs, provide direct empirical links between family involvement
and resident outcomes, and offer rigorous evaluation of interventions in order to
refine the literature.
