| dc.description.abstract | Assisted living facilities are important parts of healthcare, and the accessibility to them is a concern in Lowndes County. Studies have shown that residents of the rural areas and small cities tend to have lower accessibility to assisted living facilities. However, no such study has been conducted for Lowndes County, which includes most rural areas and small cities. The objective of this project is to involve our students in the analysis of assisted living facility locations in Lowndes County. We collected and assembled location data of assisted living facilities in the area into a digital database and utilized Geographic Information System (GIS) to map all locations. Through map analysis, we conclude that there is a problem for rural and small city residents in South Georgia to access assisted living facilities. We suggest our government officials to increase accessibility and improve access to assisted living facilities in Lowndes County. | en_US |
