NSLTCP tracks trends in five major long-term care services sectors— adult day services centers, assisted living and similar residential care communities, home health agencies, nursing homes, and hospices. NSLTCP collects information about the characteristics of residential care providers/adult day services centers, the services they offer, their staffing profile, and the demographics, functional status, and health of the residents/participants they serve. By participating you will help to improve the value of national estimates to help inform long-term care providers, planners, researchers, and policymakers. We sent you an NCHS data brief as an example.


[IF RCC: These national organizations support NSLTCP: the Center for Excellence in Assisted Living (CEAL), American Seniors Housing Association (ASHA), Argentum, LeadingAge, and the National Center for Assisted Living/American Health Care Association (NCAL/AHCA). We sent you a letter of support from these organizations.]


[IF ADSC: We sent you a letter of support from these organizations. The National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA), LeadingAge, and the National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities (NASUAD) are in support of NSLTCP.]


Participating in this study will involve completing a provider questionnaire by web or mail, and with the help of a telephone interviewer, selecting two residents/participants using random sampling procedures, and completing a questionnaire for each of them. We ask for approximately one hour of your time to participate. Your participation in this survey is voluntary, but will assist greatly in helping to further our nation’s understanding and planning for the long-term care needs of older adults and people with disabilities. Refusal to participate will involve no loss of benefits and participation can be discontinued at any time. We sent you a letter of approval from the Research Ethics Review Board at the National Center for Health Statistics.


Data collection is authorized under Section 306 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242k).
