    Data from the National Study of Long-Term Care Providers

    • In 2018, most residential care community residents were female (67%), non-Hispanic white (89%), and aged 85 and over (55%).

    • The percentage of residents with Medicaid varied by age. Overall, 19% of residential care community residents were Medicaid beneficiaries.

    • Residential care community residents needed the most assistance with bathing, walking, and dressing; 61% of residents needed assistance with three or more activities of daily living.

    • Among residential care community residents, 55% were diagnosed with high blood pressure, and 34% were diagnosed with Alzheimer disease and other dementias.

    Residential care communities provide housing for persons who cannot live independently but generally do not require the skilled care provided by nursing homes. On any given day in 2018, an estimated 918,700 residents lived in residential care communities (1,2). With the aging of the U.S. population, the numbers of residential care community residents will likely increase, becoming a substantial segment of the long-term care population. This report presents national estimates of selected characteristics of residential care community residents in 2018.
