• Description:
  Persons living in state-regulated residential care facilities (RCFs)-such as residents of assisted living communities-receive housing and supportive services because they cannot live independently but generally do not require the skilled level of care provided by nursing homes. The ability to provide a comprehensive picture of the long-term care industry has been hampered by a lack of data on RCFs. Previous estimates of the number of residents in RCFs vary depending on how RCFs are defined. A recent NCHS data brief reported that for each day in 2010, 733,300 persons were residents of RCFs nationwide. Using data from the first nationally representative survey of RCFs with four or more beds, this report presents national estimates of these RCF residents by selected resident characteristics. - p. 1
