Proposed Project
Frame development for the residential care facility component of
the National Study of Long-Term Care Providers-NEW--National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCHS seeks approval to collect data needed to develop an up-to-date
sampling frame of residential care facilities. The sampling frame will
be used to draw a nationally representative sample for a planned new
survey, the National Study of Long-Term Care Providers (NSLTCP). The
frame-related data will be collected from representatives in state
regulatory agencies in the 50 states and the District of Columbia
primarily via telephone calls, emails, and in a few cases, via formal
written requests. The data to be collected from these state officials
include (1) Confirming that we have identified the appropriate
licensure categories of residential care facilities within each state
that meet the NSLTCP definition and (2) for each relevant licensure
category, requesting an electronic file of the licensed residential
care facilities for which the agency is responsible if such files with
the needed variables are not downloadable from the state's Web site.
The NSLTCP study definition of a residential care facility is one
that is licensed, registered, listed, certified, or otherwise regulated
by the state; provides room and board with at least two meals a day;
provides around-the-clock on-site supervision; helps with activities of
daily living (e.g., bathing, eating, or dressing) or health related
services, such as medication supervision; serves primarily an adult
population; and has at least four licensed, certified, or regulated
beds. Facilities licensed to serve the mentally ill or the
intellectually disabled/developmentally disabled populations
exclusively are excluded. Nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities
are also excluded, unless they have a unit or wing meeting the above
definition and residents can be separately enumerated.
The electronic files we seek to obtain from the states should
include the name, address, phone number, and Web site (if available) of
the residential care facility; name, phone number, and email address
(if available) of facility director; licensure category; chain
affiliation; ownership type; and bed size.
Expected users of the frame data include, but are not limited to
CDC's NCHS and its contractors; other Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) agencies, such as the Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Planning and Evaluation and the Agency for Healthcare Research and

Quality; associations, such as Leading Age (formerly the American
Association of Homes and Services for the Aging), National Center for
Assisted Living, American Seniors Housing Association, and Assisted
Living Federation of America; universities; foundations; and other
private sector organizations.
Burden is estimated at 2 hours and 35 minutes per state, including
time to verify contact information, to respond to a semi-structured
telephone protocol, and to develop the facility listing in an
electronic format. One year clearance is requested. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to participate. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 132.
