Description:Key findings
Data from the National Study of Long-Term Care Providers
• More residents in residential care communities with more than 25 beds were aged 85 and over compared with smaller communities.
• A higher percentage of residents in communities with 4–25 beds were receiving Medicaid compared with residents in larger communities.
• The prevalence of Alzheimer disease and depression was higher among residents of communities with 4–25 beds than in larger communities, but the prevalence of cardiovascular disease was lower.
• The percentage of residents needing assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, walking, or eating was highest in communities with 4–25 beds.
• The percentage of residents who had fallen in the previous 90 days increased with increasing community bed size.
Residents of residential care communities are persons who cannot live independently but generally do not require the skilled care provided by nursing homes. On any given day in 2016, an estimated 811,500 residents were in residential care communities (1,2). As the population ages, the numbers in residential care communities will likely increase, creating a sizeable group within the long-term care population. This report presents national estimates of selected characteristics of residential care community residents in 2016 and compares them by community size.
