The mutual recognition model of nursing regulation is a system which allows an individual to be licensed in one state but practice and be “recognized” in another state.

Who Will Care for Us? Addressing the Long-Term Care Workforce Crisis
“Home and community-based care” is a catchall phrase that refers to a wide variety of noninstitutional long-term care settings, ranging from various types of congregate living arrangements to individuals’ own homes. The boundaries between institutional and noninstitutional environments are far from clear. Many assisted living and board and care facilities are large buildings that strongly resemble nursing homes or hotels in physical appearance and philosophy. Other residential care sites are small and homey, offering privacy and choice to residents. In contrast to nursing homes, which are licensed and regulated by the federal government because they receive significant Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, states and local jurisdictions are largely responsible for the licensing and regulation of residential care. Consequently, there is no consensus on the definition of “residential care” or on the number of facilities nationwide. One recent national study of ass ... [Read More]

State Assisted Living Policy: 1998
Assisted living facilities are a rapidly expanding source of supportive housing with services. In the view of many, such facilities represent a promising new model of long-term care, one that blurs the sharp distinction between nursing homes and community-based long-term care and reduces the chasm between long-term care in one's own home and in an institution. In this model, consumer control and choice are central to the philosophy of "assisted living." Indeed, the ability of consumers to control both key features of the environment and to direct services, under a "negotiated" or "managed risk" model, and to receive care and supervision in a "home-like" setting are considered hallmarks of the philosophy of assisted living. Further, assisted living, at least conceptually, is distinguished by a flexible service arrangement, in which there is no set "package" of services but facilities provide services to meet scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents, allowing residents to "age-in-pla ...
