Proposed Project

    Data Collection for the Residential Care Community and Adult Day 
Service Center Components of the National Post-acute and Long-term Care 
Study (OMB Control No. 0920-0943 Exp. 07/31/2025)--Revision--National 
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The NPALS is designed to: (1) broaden NCHS' ongoing coverage of 
paid, regulated long-term care (LTC) providers; (2) present alongside 
existing administrative data on LTC providers and service users (i.e., 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data on inpatient 
rehabilitation facilities and patients, long-term care hospitals and 
patients, nursing homes and residents, home health agencies and 
patients, and hospices and patients); (3) update data more frequently 
on LTC providers and service users for which nationally representative 
administrative data do not exist; and (4) enable comparisons across LTC 
sectors and timely monitoring of supply and use of these sectors over 
time.
    Data will be collected from two types of LTC providers in the 50 
states and the District of Columbia: 11,600 Residential Care 
Communities (RCC) and 5,500 Adult Day Service Centers (ADSC). Data were 
collected in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022. The data to be 
collected in 2024 include the basic characteristics, services, 
staffing, and practices of RCCs and ADSCs, and aggregate-level 
distributions of the demographics, selected health conditions and 
health care utilization,

physical functioning, and cognitive functioning of RCC residents and 
ADSC participants.
    Expected users of data from this collection effort include, but are 
not limited to CDC; other Department of Health and Human Services 
(DHHS) agencies, such as the Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
Planning and Evaluation, The Administration for Community Living, and 
the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; associations, such as 
LeadingAge, National Center for Assisted Living, American Seniors 
Housing Association, Argentum, and National Adult Day Services 
Association; universities; foundations; and other private sector 
organizations such as the Alzheimer's Association and the AARP Public 
Policy Institute.
    Expected burden from data collection for eligible cases is 30 
minutes per respondent. An estimated 5% of RCC and ADSC respondents 
will have an additional five minutes of burden to complete a data 
retrieval call. We calculated the burden based on a 100% response rate. 
A two-year clearance is requested to cover the collection of data. The 
burden for the collection is shown in Table below and totals 4,311 
hours annually. There is no cost to respondents other than their time 
to participate.
