NCHS seeks approval to collect data for the residential care community (RCC) and adult day services center (ADSC) components of a new study, the National Study of Long-Term Care Providers (NSLTCP). Data from RCCs and ADSCs include basic characteristics, services offered, staffing, and practices of providers, and distributions of the demographics, physical functioning, and cognitive functioning of users (RCC residents and ADSC participants) aggregated to the RCC/ADSC level. The study will be administered by mail, web, and telephone to a sample of 11,701 RCCs and a census of 5,000 ADSCs in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
