Abstract
This paper looks at resource allocation in New York state long-term care facilities. Data from 399 nursing facilities are used to compare resource allocation in 1983 and 1990. Given significant changes within the industry, it was hypothesized that significant changes would have occurred over the seven year period. Results indicate that growth in full time equivalents was 7.6 percent or an average of 13.5 employees. The allocation of resources across job title was, however, constant over the seven year period. Differential growth rates were found by ownership category, but there were only minimal differences with respect to the allocation of resources.
