This article presents and compares the experience with assisted living for older people in the province of Ontario, Canada and the States of Israel, two societies that have been previously compared because of broad similarities in their historical welfare state development. The article looks at the rapid growth in assisted living and argues that it has developed as a largely private sector response to the failure of government to address the housing and care needs of older people. The article also highlights the lack of government regulation in this area.
