  • Description:
    Background: personal care homes, residential care facilities, and adult family homes. To be eligible to participate in the surveys, an RCC had to meet a set of criteria. Selected RCC characteristics (as in bed size, U.S. Census Bureau region, and metropolitan statistical area status) and differences in design and methodology are examined to explain observed differences in eligibility rates.

    Methods: The National Center for Health Statistics contracted with RTI International to conduct the onetime NSRCF in 2010 and the biennial NSLTCP starting in 2012. NSRCF and the residential care component of NSLTCP collected data on residential care providers and their service users. The residential care sector includes settings such as assisted living facilities, residential care homes, personal care homes, residential care facilities, and adult family homes. To be eligible to participate in the surveys, an RCC had to meet a set of criteria. Selected RCC characteristics (as in bed size, U.S. Census Bureau region, and metropolitan statistical area status) and differences in design and methodology are examined to explain observed differences in eligibility rates.

    Results: Over the survey years, eligibility rates have varied overall as well as by bed size and mode of survey. The 2012 wave presented the lowest eligibility rate among all survey years. Eligibility rates increased when modifications were made based on respondent comments, field staff observations, and cognitive testing. Differences in eligibility rates have an impact on the estimated size of the residential care sector.
