This article reflects on the foundational contributions of Rosalie A. Kane to the rise of assisted living in the 1980s and 90s. The author, called the founder of the "Oregon model of assisted living," offers an insider's perspective of how Dr. Kane's insights - and personality-inspired a shift in the options for long term care from a model based on safety and medical treatment to one based on personal choice and independence. Along the way, the article offers an example of how sustained dialogue between theory and practice can spark concrete change. The article also assesses the personality traits that made Rosalie Kane a gifted collaborator and a generator of ideas that reached beyond the academy into real life. A brief glance at Dr. Kane's unfinished agenda speaks to her vision for today's gerontologists and social workers.
本文反思了罗莎莉·A·凯恩 (Rosalie A. Kane) 在 20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代推动辅助生活兴起的基础贡献。这位被称为“俄勒冈辅助生活模式”创始人的作者，从内部视角出发，探讨了凯恩博士的洞察力——以及她的个性——如何激发了长期护理选择的转变，从基于安全和医疗的模式转变为基于个人选择和独立的模式。在这个过程中，本文提供了一个例子，说明理论与实践之间的持续对话如何激发具体的变革。本文还评估了使罗莎莉·凯恩成为有天赋的合作者，并使她的思想超越学术界进入现实生活的个性特征。简要回顾一下凯恩博士未完成的议程，就可以了解她对今天的老年学家和社会工作者的愿景。
