This study examines satisfaction with care for African-American and White family caregivers of assisted living (adult care and family care homes) residents. Demographic factors, particularly race, caregiving experiences, and structural characteristics, were analyzed. A regression model correcting for design effects was analyzed. Because of the number of significant interactions, separate analyses for each race were completed. Results support the conceptualization of satisfaction with long-term care as a multidimensional process, incorporating demographic characteristics of family caregivers, the caregiving experience, and structural characteristics of the facility. Findings also suggest that predictors of satisfaction with care differ by race. A focus by long-term care administrators and staff on aspects highlighted in this study could improve relationships with family members and marketability of their facility. Findings can also benefit potential residents of adult care homes and/or their family members who need to select a long-term care facility.
