• Description:
  In 1963 the Division of Health Resources Statistics conducted sample survey of institutions for the aged. The survey collected data on type of service, type of ownership, bed size, residents, employees, admissions, discharges, and charges for care. Institutions for the aged are resident facilities with three beds or more that provide nursing or personal care for the aged and chronically ill. Nursing homes, rest homes, homes for the aged, and convalescent homes are facilities classified as institutions for the aged.
  
  The 1963 survey is a census of all institutions for the aged, and the 1963 survey is a probability sample of these institutions. However, the 1968 survey is similar to the 1963 survey not only in the data collected and the wording of questions but also in the use of the Master Facility Inventory and its classification scheme to define the universe of institutions for the aged.
