NCHS seeks approval to collect data
for the residential care community (RCC) and adult day services
center (ADSC) components of a new study, the National Study of
Long-Term Care Providers (NSLTCP). Data from RCCs and ADSCs include
basic characteristics, services offered, staffing, and practices of
providers, and distributions of the demographics, physical
functioning, and cognitive functioning of users (RCC residents and
ADSC participants) aggregated to the RCC/ADSC level. The study will
be administered by mail, web, and telephone to a sample of 11,701
RCCs and a census of 5,000 ADSCs in the 50 states and the District
of Columbia.
