This study examines the effects of nursing home size on resident isolation and life satisfaction. Two hundred Aid to the Aged recipients residing in 26 proprietary nursing homes from the same county in Ohio were interviewed. The results revealed that although the residents in the larger homes were substantially more isolated than the residents from the smaller homes, nursing home size did not influence life satisfaction to any great extent.
